Susan Grazier

I qualified as a solicitor in 2004 and joined Red Kite Law LLP as a partner in September 2024, bringing extensive experience to the agricultural and commercial property team.

I am a Fellow of the Agricultural Law Association and have a passion for, and particular expertise with, agricultural property transactions. I am aware of the opportunities available to rural and agricultural businesses and an understanding of the challenges and difficulties they often face. I offer perceptive and pragmatic guidance to help farmers, agricultural tenants, rural landowners and businesses make the most of those opportunities and face the challenges.

I can assist with the following agricultural and rural property transactions:

  • Agricultural Holdings Acts tenancies, including surrenders, statutory notices and re-grants;
  • Biodiversity net gain agreements, conservation covenants and section 106 planning agreements;
  • Easements and wayleave agreements;
  • Farm business tenancies;
  • First registrations of property;
  • Grazing licences, grass keeps and equestrian leases;
  • Landlord and tenant business leases and licences;
  • Overage, option and pre-emption agreements;
  • Renewable energy projects, including battery storage;
  • Sales, purchases and re-financing ;
  • Sporting rights and profits a prendre;
  • Telecommunications leases;
  • Quarries and mineral leases, easements and licences;
  • Woodlands.

When I am not working, I love reading and spending time with my dogs or in my shed, where I have built up an impressive collection of old (but incredibly useful) silversmithing tools. I am particularly fond of Doris, my ancient fly press.
