agricultural law association
Northamptonshire,
Membership of ALA is open to anyone training or qualified in the advisory
professions and to others with an interest in the subject. We exist to promote
the understanding and development of the law and practice in agriculture,
environment, food and related issues and to provide a forum for professionals
serving those sectors – lawyers, surveyors, accountants, bankers, farm business
consultants and others – to support each other in their specialisms. Our day
conferences and regional meetings cover important technical issues and allow
Members to network “with the drawbridge down” in a way that is not always easy
in the modern working environment. Our quarterly Bulletin deals with current
matters in depth, with notes on the legal issues involved in dealing with
practical problems. Our education programme, leading ultimately to Fellowship of
the Agricultural Law Association, allows a path to a badge of excellence by
which Members may distinguish themselves. Under the Materials heading you will
find an archive of past issues of the ALA Bulletin a library of case reports at
all levels dealing with issues affecting rural business regulations and guidance
dealing with various aspects of the Common Agricultural Policy and its
implementation access to the Land Registry's forms and practice guides dealing
with transactions in land
