Established in King’s Lynn in 1919, it should come as no surprise that Hawkins Ryan has vast experience in the agricultural sector. For almost 90 years, landowners and farmers have relied on our expertise to guide them through every legal aspect of their business.
We offer an all-embracing service, covering farm sales and purchases, tenancy issues, tax and inheritance planning. We also have close links with local and national land agents and accountants, so that we are able to offer a seamlessly integrated service across the board.
Contact email address: agriculture@hawkinsryan.com
We work hard to understand your commercial needs, and to offer relevant and practical solutions. We can advise you on the wide and varied field of commercial agreements. Many future problems can be avoided by precise and careful drafting. Our expertise since 1919 really does make a difference.
Our service covers every kind of agreement, from standard terms and conditions of trading (including online), through arrangements for share options and joint ventures, contracts for supply, distributorship and franchises, and agreements to cover research and development rights, confidentiality and exclusivity. In fact, wherever you are entering into an arrangement with a third party, we’ll be working to protect your interests, and to prevent disputes in the future.

We offer the complete service for commercial property. Whether you are an investor or an occupier, whether you are a landlord or a tenant, or looking to become one of those things, we can assist and advise you to make the whole process easier.

We understand that sometimes things go wrong, in these cases we will work with you to achieve the best possible outcome, either by direct negotiation, via independent mediation, or, as a last resort, through the courts.
Furthermore we can bring an experienced and commercially aware approach to bad debts. Our team will help you to recover what is owed, but more than that, they can advise you on how to avoid bad debt problems in the future, with professionally drafted terms and conditions of business, and improved in-house systems for cashflow control.
Occasionally, of course, it may be necessary to sue. But before you take this course, we will advise you on your prospects of success, the likely costs of your case, and your chances of recovering your money even if you win. As always, our view will be determined by commercial reality and our long experience — our main concern is that you should see the maximum return at the minimum cost.
