Family farm + trust structure = a key part of your succession plan.

While trusts can offer flexibility and protection, they also add complexity to succession and future ownership. If not properly aligned with your broader estate planning, they can create unintended challenges for the next generation.

At Bailiwick Legal, we help farming families structure succession with clarity, certainty, and long-term purpose.

Matilda Lloyd, Associate Director at Bailiwick Legal, recently presented the Plan with Confidence: Farming Structures & Succession workshop at the Narembeen Gather & Grow Project.

Thank you to the Women in Farming Narembeen Branch for hosting the event and for the warm welcome.

The workshop sparked practical and thoughtful discussions around business structures, succession planning, and preparing farming families for the future.

Matilda appreciated the opportunity to connect with attendees and hear their insights, questions, and lived experience. The session highlighted the importance of creating clear, workable succession plans that support both family and business longevity across generations.

Renewable energy projects are rarely isolated from the broader farming operation.

In practice, they can have operational and financial impacts across the whole enterprise—from land use and access, to long-term planning and cashflow considerations.

Understanding the flow-on effects early is key to making informed decisions.

That wraps up our Myth vs Fact series on renewable energy. If you found it helpful, be sure to follow along for more insights.

When we say “worker”, we don’t just mean employees.

It includes:

✔ Contractors
✔ Subcontractors
✔ Apprentices
✔ Volunteers

Even some third parties.

If they are connected to your business or workplace, your obligations may extend to them.
This is where many businesses get caught — assuming responsibility stops at payroll.

It doesn’t. Take legislation → translate into real business impact.

Negotiation is often underestimated in renewable energy agreements.

While terms can appear fixed at first glance, many agreements are actively negotiated and shaped to better reflect commercial and operational realities.

Understanding where there is flexibility can make a significant difference to the long-term outcome.

Seeding may be underway—but it’s not too late to ask: where are the risks this season?

• No written contractor agreements
• Unclear input pricing or supply terms
• Outdated lease or share farming arrangements
• Gaps in safety processes

These are often overlooked early, but can become costly issues as the season progresses.

A review now can save significant time, cost, and stress later on.

Renewable energy is often positioned as simple, passive income—but the reality is more complex.

Welcome to our Myth vs Fact series on the reality of renewable energy.

Behind every project is a long-term infrastructure agreement, with commercial, legal, and operational considerations that need to be understood from the outset.

Getting clarity early ensures expectations are aligned and decisions are made with confidence.
