Agriculture & Estates team

Our Agriculture & Estates team understands farming from a personal and professional perspective, taking into account that farming is more than a business, but often a whole generational way of life. We listen to the needs of each farming family and often work with them generation after generation to ensure that we can tailor advice to meet their, and their successors, wishes and aspirations.

  • Cara has been absolutely brilliant. As first time buyers the process of purchasing a house was often a little nerve wracking and daunting. We didn't know anything about the process but Cara was such a safe pair of hands. Her attention to detail and clear explanations of even the smallest things have been more than we could have hoped for. We felt reassured and totally secure at every step because Cara was looking after things. We can't thank her enough!Caroline and Paul
  • May I take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work on our behalf and commend you on your performance? You are without a shadow of a doubt the most efficient and proactive solicitor I’ve worked with in the past 35 years.
  • We have recently completed a purchase of land. Cara O'Donoghue at Birkett Long was diligent and efficient from start to finish. Throughout the process, it was evident that Cara had our best interests as her priority.
