Rural
Govett Quilliam recognises the specific needs of rural clients and the need for their lawyers to have a real appreciation of the rural sector. Our experienced farming team members are conversant in a wide range of rural matters and are able to give specialist advice to all farmers.
Govett Quilliam’s farming team has a sustained interest in the primary sector. We also have an up to date knowledge of Government policy and the economy as well as an appreciation of the many factors affecting farmers. We are proud of our involvement with our many farming clients and our long experience in dealing with their businesses and personal affairs.
In addition to our farming team in our New Plymouth office, we have a strong link to Inglewood and South Taranaki via our Inglewood office.
