Advising an estates client on the management and development of its in-hand farming estate and its let estate comprising farming and other enterprises let to tenants. With the future of country pursuits and the countryside in mind, the Estate, working together with a number of charitable and commercial partners, set up a corporate vehicle to hold residential and day camps to offer an educational hands-on approach to a range of country pursuits. We advised on the legal and regulatory compliance issues faced when offering country pursuits involving, in particular, children, residential camps, animals and shooting. We assisted with the set-up of the joint venture vehicle and provided legal advice relating to safeguarding, data protection, health and safety, food regulation, branding and advertising and marketing. We also drafted the terms and conditions on which the camps are offered and our team attended as team leaders at the events to ensure smooth running and legal and regulatory compliance.
