New Partner added to growing Agriculture and Estates team

Howes Percival adds new Partner to growing Agriculture team to meet ongoing demand

11th May, 2026

Howes Percival has expanded its Agriculture team in East Anglia with the appointment of Partner Tim Ryan.

Tim advises landowners and farming businesses on the sale, purchase and letting of farms and agricultural land, as well as on wider estate management and diversification projects. His experience includes advising on photovoltaic and anaerobic digestion plants, the development and letting of redundant farm buildings, and a range of collaboration, promotion, option, overage and pre-emption agreements.

Tim’s strategic land expertise enables him to act for private and institutional landowners on the negotiation of complex, multi-million-pound option, promotion, collaboration and contribution agreements. Combined with his detailed knowledge of farm tenancies and environmental schemes, this allows him to ensure that landowners do not agree to unworkable possession or early entry provisions.

Howes Percival’s Agriculture team deals with the management of landed estates and large farms, tax-efficient structuring, agricultural property, development land and tax. The team of agricultural solicitors has a deep understanding of all types of landowning issues and is particularly known for dealing with unusually complex legal matters and finding solutions to help manage agricultural estates or farming businesses.

The Agriculture team support the firm’s broader Private Client Services practice to provide a full-service offering, covering all aspects of legal advice that landowners, landed estates and farmers need.

Partner Anna Spriggs commented,

I’m absolutely delighted to welcome Tim to Howes Percival. He is very well known in the Norwich market and brings with him significant experience and expertise in the agricultural sector. Despite economic and geopolitical uncertainties, the sector remains strong, and the team continues to see increased demand for their services. We are focused on expanding the Agriculture team to meet the demand we are seeing across the Norfolk and Suffolk region where the agriculture sector is particularly strong.
