Burges Salmon emphasises agriculture strength after Wilsons faux pas

It's a bit rich of Burges Salmon to be claiming still to have a serious interest in agriculture; what they certainly are keen on is agribusiness (i.e. massive farming co-operatives and food/drink retailers), which is a very different beast - not least because it's all about commercial contracts rather than agricultural law! If you're a farmer with a problem - and there are many - BS simply aren't interested any more. If they were, they wouldn't have offloaded practically every genuine agriculture lawyer they had in the last five years. Peter Williams is a good bloke - he certainly cares about his clients, rather than seeing them exclusively as cash cows (if you'll excuse the pun...).
