Ellisons—Samuel Flower

Ellisons has appointed Samuel Flower as a Senior Associate in its Rural Affairs team, further strengthening the firm’s private client offering for agricultural and rural clients.

Samuel joins with expertise across all areas of wills, trusts, lasting powers of attorney and probate, alongside experience in contentious probate matters. His work includes advising individuals and families on future planning, supporting clients through bereavement, and helping to manage the transition of farming businesses and partnerships between generations.

His appointment reflects continued demand for specialist advice within the rural sector, where clients often require a combination of technical legal expertise and a strong understanding of the complexities unique to agricultural businesses and land ownership.

Tim Logan, Senior Partner and Head of Rural Affairs at Ellisons, said: “Samuel is well-known in the farming community and brings a strong blend of technical expertise and practical understanding of the issues facing rural clients. His experience advising on both non-contentious and contentious matters is particularly valuable, as it allows us to support clients not only in planning ahead but also in managing situations where disputes may arise. He will be a key addition to the team as we continue to develop our offering in this area.”

Samuel Flower added: “I’m pleased to be joining Ellisons’ Rural Affairs team at a time when the sector is facing increasing complexity and challenges. Supporting farming families and rural businesses requires a thoughtful, tailored approach, and I look forward to working with colleagues across the firm to help clients plan for the future and navigate change with confidence.”

Ellisons’ Rural Affairs team provides specialist legal advice to landowners, farmers and rural businesses across the East of England and beyond, supporting clients on a wide range of personal and commercial matters.
