THE senior partner of Harrogate-based McCormicks Solicitors has been named Agriculture Lawyer of the Year for the UK by Finance Monthly magazine.
Peter McCormick was selected for the 2017 Award for his work with agricultural estates.
He said: “We work with many estates to help them to diversify their businesses, for example on the development of buildings into offices, pubs and restaurants, or to exploit leisure opportunities on their land to supplement their farming income.”
