Two new holders of agricultural fellowship

Roythornes Solicitors has announced that two members of its team have been awarded a fellowship from the Agricultural Law Association (ALA).

Partner and head of the private client team Elizabeth Young (pictured) and associate and agricultural property specialist Alice Lees both earned the ALA fellowship after an intensive course and an advanced agricultural law exam. They join eight other members of Roythornes to have also gained the ALA fellowship.

Elizabeth commented: ‘We are both delighted to have received our Fellowship accreditation from the ALA, a mark of dedication to our own professional development as well as the firm’s commitment to offering clients a team of sector specialists with an in-depth knowledge of issues directly affecting them and their businesses.’

Alice added: ‘Roythornes are delighted to see another two members of our team recognised by the ALA for their expertise. The firm’s roots lie firmly within the agricultural sector, and we continue proudly to be recognised by organisations such as Legal 500 as the leading firm for agricultural work in the East Midlands.’
