Roythornes Solicitors

Roythornes Solicitors is a top 150 national law firm with six offices across the Midlands, East Anglia and Oxfordshire. Its practice is built around a specialist focus on agriculture, food and farming, acting as advisers to farmers, landowners, food businesses, developers and private individuals. The firm has worked with farmers and landowners for more than 90 years.

Work spans several distinct practice streams. The agriculture, food and farming team provides specialist advice to the sector; corporate and commercial lawyers act for businesses of all sizes, entrepreneurs, property developers and housebuilders; and a private client practice serves individuals and landed estates. The firm also advises on natural resources, renewable energy and sustainability, and on property development and housebuilding, helping clients respond to economic and environmental change.

Roythornes remains independent, which it identifies as enabling its ambition and approach to responsible employment. It describes a one-team ethos across its offices, with an emphasis on long-standing client relationships and commercial know-how. A firm-wide sustainability programme, running for over a decade, covers working practices, data gathering, supplier engagement and resource reduction targets.
