North West law firm boosts expert offering

Law firm SAS Daniels LLP has increased its specialist offering by appointing one of the regions leading advisors in agriculture law.

Specialist agricultural lawyer Graham Gigg has spent the last decade in his own practice, Gigg & Co. His expertise includes dealing with matters relating to agricultural land, the single payment scheme, agricultural tenancies and diversification.

Commenting on his appointment, Graham said: Agriculture is a niche market and not something most firms can handle with genuine authority. SAS Daniels is striking out ahead of the game by predicting markets that will need specialist attention over the next few years, this will be one area where we can provide a full service – supporting farmers in resolving their legal issues.

Agriculture remains a billion pound industry but the last few years has seen some challenging times, particularly in the dairy sector, and we have a long way to go. Our farmers are running their own businesses in a really tough environment – the more we can help them through this difficult period, the better in the long run for the economy.

Headquartered in Stockport, SAS Daniels is organised across five practice groups: corporate, real estate, litigation, employment and private client.

The firm is rated amongst the best in the region by Chambers and the Legal 500 the two leading client guides to the UK legal profession.

Managing partner at the firm, Nigel Haddon said: This appointment is the latest in a string of developments designed to boost the growth of specialist expertise within SAS Daniels. Not only will it benefit existing clients but it will also open the firm up to more niche markets requiring specialist advice in the region.

Great firms are based on great people and we are constantly striving to boost our offering to the market.
