Bowcock Cuerden LLP to be the NFU panel firm for Cheshire and Derbyshire.

The NFU is reviewing and increasing slightly the membership of its legal panel – the list of law firms nationally to whom NFU recommends to members needing a lawyer. It has just been decided that, within the new panel, BCllp is to be the sole panel firm for both Cheshire and Derbyshire.

Managing Director Philip Cuerden said: “We are delighted to have been selected as the NFU legal panel firm for both Cheshire and Derbyshire. Located in the heart of one of the region’s principal farming areas, farming clients have always been at the heart of the firm’s activities. From employment problems to land issues, from milking parlour disputes to regulatory prosecutions, having acted for farming clients from Nantwich to New Zealand we look forward to the opportunities to strengthen even further our ties with the agricultural community which working with our NFU colleagues will offer”.
