Career & Experience
Kate is a Senior Associate in the Farms, Estates and Rural Land team. She acts for clients on a wide range of rural land transactions, including farm and land sales and purchases, refinances, landed estate management, first registrations, farm business tenancies and Agricultural Holding Act tenancies, sporting rights and high-value rural residential property transactions.
Kate has been with the firm since she was a trainee solicitor and regularly works for high net worth individuals, landowners and landed estates. Kate’s farming background means she has an understanding, from her personal experience, of how rural clients’ businesses work and the matters important to them in transactions.
Kate’s recent experience includes:
- Acting on behalf of a buyer purchasing a large, operational dairy farm, comprising farmhouse and cottages, extensive dairy buildings and circa 350 acres.
- Acting on behalf of a lender refinancing a £6m commercial farm with holiday lets.
- Advising an operator on rural tenancy issues encountered in their strategically important solar development.
Outside of work, Kate enjoys spending time with her two young daughters and helping her husband on the farm.
