Running a Fishery

Acquiring your fishery can be the start of problems not the end.  Most fisheries are either run for profit or for the use of members of a syndicate or club.  This gives rise to issues or organisation and liabilities.

Whether a syndicate, club or private fishery, decisions need to be take as to how to operate the fishery.

Simon Jackson Solicitors can advise on

• How to operate as a limited company or an unincorporated association.
• Setting up a limited company or constitutions and trust deeds for unincorporated associations.
• Setting up syndicates and sharing arrangements for fisheries.
• Dealing with disputes between members.

Many liability issues can rear their heads once you have acquired a fishery.  These include

• Liability to members and other users of fisheries.
• Liability to third parties arising from use of the fishery.
• Provision of toilet facilities and health and safety issues.
• Advice on ownership of fish.
• Problems with diseased fish.
