DOUGLAS Godwin is a lawyer who has a pair of wellies permanently in the boot of his car, because the latest addition to the team of QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright in Worcester is an expert in agricultural matters. Mr Godwin specialises in agricultural, commercial property, development and planning law and landlord and tenant matters. He also has experience in environmental issues including energy production, wind turbines, telecommunication masts, river law and private water supplies.
As a former tenant farmer with diplomas in advanced farm and estate management from the Royal Agriculture College, Cirencester and agricultural science from Harper Adams Agricultural College, Shropshire, Mr Godwin has considerable experience and knowledge of the issues farmers face.
Jeremy Redfern, head of business services at Parkinson Wright, said: "Douglas is a most welcome addition to our business team adding breadth to the services at our four offices. He brings a unique perspective which compliments and enhances the specialist aspects of our environmental and planning law practice already covered by Peter Scott.”
