An expert in rural and agricultural land and property matters, he specialises in advising on the acquisition and sale of land and rural properties, with a particular focus on estates across England and Wales.

Having grown up on a working dairy farm, Michael has a deep appreciation for the factors and pressures facing those in the agricultural sector. As a Lancashire local and former University of Liverpool student, he knows the North West very well.
