Based at mfg’s Worcester office, she will work with senior partner and head of the firm’s agricultural and rural affairs division, Iain Morrison.
Mr Morrison said: “Helen is a talented agricultural specialist who has had an outstanding career. I am delighted to bring her into the team, especially at a time when farmers, landowners and rural enterprises are having to manage considerable change, legal hurdles and face up to complicated European-led subsidy reforms.”
Ms Gough added: “I have worked in and around the 海角视频’s agricultural industry for over a decade and am thrilled to be joining mfg and high-calibre agricultural team which boasts a great amount of respect built over many years.
“I am looking forward to playing my part in developing our rural client base and adding value for our existing clients – especially for intricate contentious matters, share farming agreements and tenancy issues.”
Ms Gough, who was a legal advisor with the National Farmers Union from 2004 to 2007, is an elected member of the Agricultural Law Association and also a member of the Property Litigators Association.
