Thompson Smith & Puxon Host Options and Overage Seminar
We at Thompson Smith & Puxon (TS&P) recently hosted a one-day seminar on “Overage“ Arrangements and Option Agreements with colleagues from local surveyors and land agents Robinson & Hall and Stanfords, as well as from Jamesons accountants, in TS&P’s new building at Stable 6, Stable Road, Colchester.
Environmental Stewardship Contracts and the Weather
Sept 12 2012: Glorious though the last two weeks have been, you do have to wonder whether this was the wettest summer ever: it certainly felt like it! Let alone the disruption to agriculture, as we all know the Suffolk Show was cancelled on its second day because of the weather, and the one-day Tendring Show was badly hit. At TS&P, lately we have had reason to look in some detail at Environmental Stewardship contracts in the light of recent weather conditions.
May 25 2012: Our farming clients often come to us at Thompson Smith & Puxon Solicitors to make Wills and tell us one of their several children is heavily involved in the farming business, with their other children only playing a minor role, or living far away and having nothing to do with the farming business at all. All the same, the parents want to be fair to all their children.
