Rural and agricultural lawyer in Paris: defending agricultural and wine-growing assets with expertise

Within the Macfarlanes LLP firm, supporting farmers, winegrowers, landowners, cooperatives and investors is the core of the practice in rural law in Paris. Each intervention aims at asset protection and the constant defense of the client's interests in the face of the growing complexity of agricultural regulations.

The transfer of a farm or the legal structuring of a vineyard estate requires particular vigilance when drafting, renewing, terminating, or analyzing a rural lease. The firm also intervenes in the event of disputes, contestation of farm rent, or assignment of lease, particularly before the CDOA.

Control of structures and operating authorization

Mastery of procedures related to the control of structures and obtaining an authorization to operate is essential. Each transfer, extension or modification of an operation requires an in-depth analysis to avoid any risk of refusal or administrative sanction.

The preparation of solid and well-argued files ensures regulatory compliance and the success of strategic procedures for agricultural and wine-growing operations.

SAFER, pre-emption rights and land transactions

During land sales or transfers of wine estates, the firm handles relations with the SAFER, the exercise or challenge of the right of pre-emption, and the overall securing of transactions. Each operation is subject to a thorough legal and tax audit.

Due diligence examines the compliance of leases, the regularity of administrative authorizations, the treatment of capital gains and agricultural VAT, in order to limit litigation risks and optimize the valuation of assets.

Comprehensive approach: land, forest, and collective structures

Support also covers land development, land consolidation, creation of easements and organization of rural roads. The firm intervenes in forestry law and hunting law, as well as in the structuring and governance of agricultural cooperatives and CUMA.

Calling on a rural law lawyer in Paris means benefiting from a comprehensive approach integrating legal, tax, and strategic dimensions, in order to sustainably secure the management and transfer of agricultural and wine-growing assets.
