The longevity of the firm is evidence of its successful relationship and reputation with in the local community and wider afield.
Rutters have been dealing with rural land owners and farmers for generations and so have all the knowledge and experience required to assist with any agricultural matters. Our Solicitors will be able to assist you from small scale land transactions to the sale and purchase of large farms and estates.
Our approach in the first instance and where possible is to seek to resolve conflicts and disputes by negotiation or even mediation and arbitration. Resolution of a dispute through negotiation has several benefits. Firstly, it saves legal costs, maintains a commercial relationship between the parties and saves time.
It is important to consider the legal implications for you and your partner if you are going to live together or are separating. If the relationship does not endure it is important to resolve the legal issues properly to avoid problems arising in the future or to have entered into a written agreement prior to cohabiting to try to avoid a dispute if you later separate.

Thanks to Genette Gale's expertise in family law, her supportive words and tons of patience during my unpleasant process, I was able to get through one of my worst life experiences. Thanks again Genette, I feel like a new women.
