Understanding the differences between a grazing licence, a farm business tenancy, a business tenancy under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, a common law tenancy, a profit à prendre and agistment are essential when advising farmers looking to grant some form of ‘grass keep’, or where a dispute has arisen.

This virtual classroom session will guide you through the pitfalls to avoid.
