Arizona Equine/Horse Law
On This Team
The Equine Law Department is here to provide you with a full range of equine related contracts, including purchase and sale agreements, leases, boarding agreements, breeding contracts and more. We are available to facilitate any equine related transaction and assist in resolving disputes of any kind.
Working in the Arizona horse industry has an inherent degree of uncertainty. Fortunately, from purchase to sale and everything in between, there are measures that you can take to minimize risk, protect your interests, and maximize your productivity. For those things that you cannot do yourself, there are professionals, such as farriers, veterinarians, trainers, and the like.
The value of a good professional cannot be understated in the equine world. When you can depend on someone to provide preventative maintenance, quality care, and attention to detail, your chances of success are greater. More importantly your ability to enjoy what you do without worry grows exponentially.
If boarding, training, riding or breeding horses is your business; a written contract should be used for every transaction you conduct. Written contracts will eliminate the hassle of a dispute arising out of your business transactions. Further, documenting your activity ensures that the tax benefits of all your economic activity can be fully realized.
We are here to provide you with custom tailored contracts for all of your equine activity. Lease agreements, breeding or boarding contracts, partnership and syndication agreements, installment sale agreements, transportation agreements, training contracts, bills of sale, and liability waivers are just a few.
In addition to having solid contracts, ensuring compliance with local land use and zoning laws is of paramount importance when keeping horses on your property in Arizona. If you have or are constructing horse facilities, failure to obtain the necessary permits can be extremely expensive. If you are cited for a violation it can burn an untold number of hours dealing with an unforgiving bureaucracy to bring the matter to close. As legal professionals we can assist you with securing all the requisite approvals and resolving compliance issues.
In addition to providing contracts and helping you navigate through land use issues we are here to assist in entity formations, show organization, and asset protection. Our lawyer & attorney services also extend to equine related insurance claims, litigation representation, filing for agricultural property tax assessments, and estate planning.
Just as an expert farrier or a diligent trainer, an equine lawyer in AZ can prove to be an invaluable asset to all horsemen and women alike. Every horse owner in AZ should be able to depend on an equine attorney to look out for their best interest.
