Profile... Victoria Wellesley-Smith

Having been brought up on an arable farm in East Yorkshire, Victoria has always been close to the land. She went from home to Bristol University to read archaeology and history of art before qualifying as a solicitor in 2000.

Throughout her career she has specialised in agricultural law, training and working for one of the North West’s leading agricultural law practices. Over the years she has gained valuable experience in a number of areas including the buying and selling of farms, negotiating claw back and pre-emption provisions, creating and terminating farm business tenancy agreements, dealing with landlord and tenant disputes, Single Payment Scheme issues, tenancy succession cases, problems relating to moorland, common land and sheep gaits and the creation and dissolution of farming partnerships.

She believes in keeping every client properly and clearly informed by providing a practical and methodical service tailored to the individual client’s needs.
