Anne-Michelle Slater, Lecturer in Law at Aberdeen University and member of the Rural Law Research Group, said: “We are very pleased that Terra Firma Chambers has agreed to sponsor this conference, which will consider many aspects of land reform in Scotland. The practical implications of the law on agricultural and rural land use are central to our work and the involvement of legal practitioners is an important aspect of this. Terra Firma’s expertise in this area means they are ideally qualified to support this event.”

Robert Sutherland, Terra Firma’s Treasurer, added: “Terra Firma Chambers enjoy very strong links with Aberdeen and the North-East of Scotland and are pleased to support this important conference, both by providing speakers and financial sponsorship. The conference programme reflects our own practice areas and the work of the Rural Law Research Group makes a vital contribution to understanding the practical implications of legal development in these areas.”
