Whether horses are your business or hobby, they are undoubtedly a potential minefield of risks. Insurance can of course limit the risks but there are certain things that simply cannot be insured against such as contractual disputes on sale or purchase, unpaid livery bills, co-ownership disputes - the list goes on.

Unlike other businesses, equine business has been conducted with nothing more than the strength of a handshake. In a consumer driven society however, this informal approach has given rise to an increasing number of legal disputes.

Here at Actons , we provide a range of services to assist in resolving such disputes. Our key services in this respect include the following:

Contractual disputes
Veterinary negligence
Liability arising under the Animals Act 1971
Other commercial disputes

In an attempt to minimise the risks of litigation in the first place, Actons can also assist in drawing up specific agreements to cater for all types of transactions. Here are just a few 'high risk' areas in which we can help you:

Sale and Purchase Agreements
Loan Agreements
Livery Agreements
Stud Agreements
