EQUINE LAW

Annette Wood is the partner heading the equine law team. She is an experienced rider and is assisted by Helen Barton, a solicitor who is well known in equestrian circles for her eventing successes.

Andrew & Co LLP has put together a dedicated equine law team in response to the increasing needs of clients in this sector. Annette and Helen's wealth of experience in commercial and employment law and dispute resolution, including equine litigation, coupled with their equestrian backgrounds mean they can appreciate and understand the client's needs and concerns without constant explanations.

Matters on which Annette and Helen can advise include:

  • Contract advice and preparation of sale and purchase agreements.
  • Livery and loan agreements.
  • Contract disputes.
  • Property transactions including sale, purchase or lease of premises for stables/stud purposes, including planning matters. We have a planning specialist who would assist where appropriate.
  • Business start-up advice, including partnership agreements.
  • Employment advice. Changing employment legislation, minimum wage and limits on working hours mean an increasing risk of claims from employees.
  • Debt Recovery.
  • Professional Negligence.
  • Personal injury as a result of riding accidents including injuries sustained during the course of employment. (In respect of accident claims our experienced PI team will be involved.)

We can provide a fixed fee service for some equine law services
