What can I do for you

Michael is joint head of the Food & Agribusiness sector at Mills & Reeve. His work includes advising farming companies, institutions, business and estates. As one of the leading national Food & Agribusiness practices, Michael advises on issues emerging from the rapidly changing sector and how these businesses can meet the challenges of tomorrow.

What do others say

Michael recently helped a corporate client on a significant acquisition and they said "Your ability to cut straight to the real issues was invaluable.  Without that approach we doubt the transaction would ever have happened"

Supporting your ambitions

One of Michael's significant highlights involved advising Farmcare on its restructuring of its operational business covering more than 25,000 acres. This included advising on the overall structure and leading a multi-disciplinary team of lawyers working with the client and its other professional advisors on implementing the change. Nothing of this magnitude had been done before in the Agribusiness sector and involved designing bespoke solutions for various parts of the clients portfolio. The completion of this project meant that the client was in a much better position to react to the future challenges faced by the sector.

Michael has had to become a real cricket fan, travelling far and wide to watch his three boys play cricket at a high standard.

I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”
