Josie Edwards

I am a Partner in Michelmores’ Agriculture team. I come from a farming background in South Wales and have had the privilege of working as an agricultural solicitor since qualifying in 2010. I joined Michelmores in 2012, on the opening of the Bristol office. I act for a broad range of landowners and occupiers, as well as agricultural businesses and local authorities. My practice is predominantly non-contentious; I am experienced in drafting a wide variety of deeds and agreements relating to the letting of land and farming business structures, with a particular specialism in farming partnerships, succession planning and complex tenancy re-structures. I am passionate about the environment and the role the agriculture sector can play in addressing the climate and biodiversity crises. I have a growing practice in Natural Capital and the long-term management of land for biodiversity and environmental gains, with a developing specialism in conservation covenants. I also have a busy advisory practice, assisting clients in relation to specialist landlord and tenant matters (both agricultural and rural residential), with a particular interest in Agricultural Holdings Act succession rights. I lecture regularly to the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers and am a joint editor of the RICS e-learning portal (ISurv) for rural landlord and tenant matters.
