At Staines Law, we advise exclusively landowners and farmers on renewable projects, Whether:

• you have been approached by a developer for a project;
• a developer is seeking to extend or renew an option;
• a developer wishes to run cables across your lands;
• or
  you and a group in your local community wish to avail of community gain;

then we will provide you with a focused expertise service on the issues arising from involvement with renewables.

Working with a range of experts on the technical side, taxation, investment and finance, Staines Law provide the onestop shop for landowners, farmers and community groups to ensure that they get the best return from renewables. However, you need to be aware of issues such as:

• farm succession;
• impact on the farm business;
• restrictions and interference with the rest of the land;
• how the land is reinstated and infrastructure removed;
• and
  ensuring there is an adequate decommissioning bond or fund in place.

James Staines regularly presents on renewables and issues for farmers and landowners. He has spoken regularly at Irish Farmers Association events on this. He has written for the Irish Farmers Journal. He has also presented at the Energy and Agriculture event held each year at Gurteen Agricultural College.
