We're delighted to announce the appointment of Paddy Lynam to the partnership.

Paddy joins from BDB Pitmans to lead and grow the London agricultural property and country house team, with his practice spanning across the agribusiness, residential property, private client and bloodstock sectors.

His expertise will bolster the firm’s relationships with key players in the market and support the growth of the agribusiness team across multiple offices.

The move supports Mills & Reeve’s vision of being the leading full-service law firm in the food and agribusiness sector, enhancing its competitive edge and fostering sustainable growth.

Paddy commented on his new role: “I am delighted to have joined Mills & Reeve and look forward to contributing to the continued growth of the agribusiness team. This is a very exciting opportunity and comes at a time of great change for landowners and the wider rural communities. I am thrilled to be playing a leading role in the highly regarded team and eager to use my experience to enhance our presence in the market.”

Michael Aubrey, joint head of the food & agribusiness sector at Mills & Reeve, added: “Paddy’s appointment is a significant step in achieving our goal of remaining market leaders in this sector. His track record and reputation will be invaluable as we expand our footprint nationally. We’re very excited to welcome him to the team.”

With a strong focus on delivering comprehensive legal services to high-net-worth individuals, institutional clients and multinational corporations, Paddy’s expertise will be crucial in continuing to drive growth and innovation within the sector.

The firm is committed to addressing the evolving needs of the agribusiness sector, particularly in light of the UK’s post-Brexit landscape and the increasing importance of sustainability and natural capital. Paddy’s experience in handling complex transactions and his deep understanding of the market will be instrumental in helping clients navigate these challenges and opportunities.
