Rural and agricultural lawyer in Bordeaux: defending, securing and enhancing all patrimonial issues

The firm Macfarlanes LLP, expert in rural law and agricultural law in Bordeaux, rigorously and responsively supports farmers, winegrowers, landowners, cooperatives, and investors in managing their economic and family interests. Faced with the increasing complexity of regulations relating to farm leases, the SAFER, operating permits, or structural controls, it is essential to have experienced counsel to secure each project.

Rural leases, pre-emption and administrative procedures

The firm intervenes at all key stages: drafting, renewal, termination or assignment of rural leases, analysis of farm rent clauses and support before the CDOA. This vigilance helps prevent disputes and effectively defend the rights of the tenant or the preemption mechanisms of SAFER during sales or transfers of agricultural holdings and wine estates.

Securing operations also involves complying with operating permits and anticipating administrative controls, ensuring the long-term compliance of projects.

Legal and tax audit of farms and wine estates

A thorough legal and tax audit precedes each strategic step: due diligence before a transaction, optimization of capital gains and agricultural VAT, structuring through civil companies, agricultural land groups, cooperatives, or CUMA. The goal is to sustainably protect rural and wine-growing assets while ensuring the longevity of investments.

The firm also masters issues related to land development, land consolidation, easements, rural paths, as well as the regularization or contestation of administrative penalties.

Securing the transfer and enhancing the value of the Bordeaux rural heritage

Every decision in agricultural matters involves major family and patrimonial stakes. Macfarlanes LLP adopts a global approach combining legal expertise, strategic anticipation, and active defense of the client's interests. The transfer of a vineyard estate, the structuring of a family takeover, or the organization of a collective investment are handled with the highest standards.

Using a rural law lawyer in Bordeaux means benefiting from tailored support to secure, enhance, and efficiently transfer agricultural and vineyard land in a demanding regulatory environment.
