In the demanding context of rural law and agricultural law in Bourges, every farmer, winegrower, landowner, or investor faces decisive choices for the sustainability of their activity and the transmission of their assets. The firm Macfarlanes LLP acts as an expert, reassuring, and available partner to support all sensitive stages related to the management and securing of agricultural operations.

The drafting, renewal or termination of a farm lease, the fixing of rent, the assignment or contestation of contracts, as well as the management of litigation before the CDOA are handled rigorously in order to preserve the economic and legal interests of clients.

Mastery of pre-emption rights and control of structures

Mastering the mechanisms related to the tenant's right of pre-emption and the SAFER, the authorization to operate, as well as the control of agricultural structures is essential to anticipate risks and secure any land transfer. Whether for a sale of agricultural land, a family takeover, or a consolidation operation, each case benefits from an in-depth strategic analysis.

Procedures relating to easements, rural paths, and land development are also rigorously supervised to ensure regulatory compliance and the defense of rights in complex situations.

Legal and tax audit of farms and wine estates

The support includes due diligence, legal and tax audit missions, particularly during the sale or acquisition of a vineyard estate. Securing transactions and anticipating tax risks, especially regarding capital gains or agricultural VAT, constitute a major challenge for the sustainable enhancement of assets.

Cooperatives, CUMA and other collective structures benefit from personalized support covering their formation, operation, prevention of internal disputes and organization of relations between members.

Secure the transfer and sustainably enhance the value of agricultural land

Economic and family issues are omnipresent in rural law: protecting income from the farm, organizing a smooth transfer between generations, and optimizing the transferable legal structure are central objectives. The firm acts with a global approach, combining technical expertise, anticipation, and active defense before the competent bodies.

Calling on a rural law lawyer in Bourges means choosing strategic support to sustainably secure agricultural and wine-growing projects, while guaranteeing long-term asset stability and regulatory compliance.
