Spear’s Review

Farrer & Co partner and head of private wealth Simon Pring’s ability to strategise and guide his clients through the process of agricultural and rural development is second to none.

As a property lawyer with over 30 years of experience in the industry, Pring works with clients including institutions, charities and private estates. He has also built a formidable network of land agents, accountants and financial consultants. ‘It’s a team game, [where we] ensure that not only are we recommending the thing that the client would like, but the client absolutely understands what the endgame is,’ he explains.

For Pring, longevity is key, and he says several of the clients he works with now, he began working with early on in his career. ‘It’s very satisfying to have that continuity.’
