At Berlad Graham LLP, we have a team dedicated to equine law to help clients deal with the diverse legal issues involved in the sale, purchase and ownership of horses and associated activities.

Most of our equine lawyers are themselves keen riders, which gives them a real insight into the unique challenges and needs faced by horse owners, breeders and suppliers. If you are looking for advice and guidance on equine law and want to discuss your next steps, please call Berlad Graham LLP today on 0330 175 5655.

Experienced Equine Lawyer

The equine industry can essentially be divided into two parts:

Activities based on the use, possession or ownership of horses (core activities).
Suppliers of horse-related goods and services for those core activities (providers to the core).

According to the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA), there are around 27 million people in Britain with an interest in the equestrian industry. This is not just the horse riders themselves but also includes those involved with horses in other capacities, such as commercial breeders, riding schools, and suppliers of goods and services, including farriery, feed supply and vets.

Equine Law Solicitors

Equine law may be viewed by some as niche, but it encompasses a wide range of legal areas, ranging from personal injury and property disputes to insurance and contract law.

We can provide legal advice and assistance in all areas relating to equine law, including:

The purchase and sale of equestrian property and land.
Equestrian business tenancies.
Agreements for livery and grazing.

Horse sale and purchase contracts.
Drafting and advising on loan agreements.
Disputes relating to the purchase and sale of horses.

Construction disputes for riding schools and stables.
Liabilities or entitlements in respect of riding accidents.
Veterinary negligence.

Horse riding is a popular pastime in the UK, with BETA estimating that the economic value of the equestrian sector is around £4.7bn of consumer spending across a wide range of goods and services each year. With this comes more demand for professional legal advice from those familiar with the environment riders and horse owners operate in.

Berlad Graham LLP has solicitors all over the UK, as well as in Spain, Dubai, and Israel, so there is always someone close at hand to help with any issues. We pride ourselves on being specialists and can advise on all the finer points of law relating to the equestrian industry.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Susan from the Cumbria office is by far the best solicitor we've ever had the pleasure of working with. She was polite, courteous and always did what was best for us. When the vendors were trying to bring the completion date forward, and we were not ready, she spoke to the necessary parties and took the pressure off us. Susan was always very clear on what documents she needed from us and when she did receive them acted on them quickly and efficiently. If Susan was going to be on annual leave, she would always let us know, so we are not worried if we cannot reach her or if she does not respond. Just overall, Susan was a dream to work with and, coupled with the very competitive rates offered for the completion of the purchase of our house, we will definitely be looking to work with Berlan Graham and Susan in particular in the future, when we come to sell this property. Thank you for your utter constant professionalism, Susan. Best wishes!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well where do I start? This is the second time I’ve used Claire and Laura (and Alex) from the Cumbrian team. They have been amazing from start to finish! Even on the day before completion when my sellers solicitor went awol, they called me to explain and discussed my options. On completion date they were in contact with me and even now a week after completion they are still helping me with issues I’m having with my sellers.

Thank you so much girls for all of your help and support. Me and Lisa couldn’t have done it without you. You are all amazing!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had heard horror stories about solicitors being unresponsive and unhelpful. Thankfully, Berlad Graham Solicitors do not follow this trend. We worked with Claire Brownlie and were thoroughly impressed by her assistance throughout the entire home-buying process. As first-time buyers, we were unfamiliar with the procedures, but Claire guided us through each step and put us completely at ease.

Claire's exceptional patience and support were invaluable, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I instructed BG Law for conveyancing services.  Samuel Clifford was my primary contact.  He was highly professional, easy to contact and provided regular updates.  I was very happy with service levels and would easily recommend.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Claire has been outstanding in handling my case for a house sale. Great communication, always responsive to emails and kept me updated on the process. I didn't need to chase them like I did with previous solicitors and they definitely restored my trust and faith in dealing with the matter so efficiently. It couldn't have run any smoother.
They have been the easiest solicitors to deal with to date and I will be recommending them to friends and family in the future.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Taslim has been an absolute godsend for us! Fought in our corner every step of the way and helped us navigate some tricky situations with extremely pushy estate agents. We were first time buyers who had no clue about what to do and Taslim was very patient in explaining the whole process to us. Couldn't recommend enough.
