Ruth Lambillion
Ruth Lambillion specialises in agricultural property and advises farmers, landowners and others involved in agri-business.
As well as acting on acquisitions and disposals of farms, land and residential property, Ruth also advises on a variety of other property matters including easements, overage, pre-emption agreements, option agreements and licences. Ruth also deals with ecclesiastical property transactions.
Another aspect of Ruth’s work in which she has acquired a high level of expertise is secured lending where she acts for the bank (as well as sometimes the borrower).
