Protecting and Promoting Agricultural Innovation and Biotechnology
AGRICULTURAL LAW
Agriculture is home to some of the hardest, but most rewarding, enterprises on the planet. The risks and stakes are high – it takes determination, countless hours of planning and research, and sheer willpower to keep your enterprise on track season after season.
I’ve been practicing agricultural law for over 20 years, and I know first-hand the challenges of agricultural production and the businesses that keep the food supply moving. When I first started practicing law, growers were planting their first-ever genetically modified crops of soybeans and cotton. The pace of change and innovation in modern agriculture is stunning. New technologies show up almost daily – tracking farms, generating data, offering solutions to problems you didn’t even know you had. And all promise to make you more money.
Consolidation in the business is breathtaking – How do you compete against the new breed of consolidated global companies with portfolios of brands, inputs, data, and analytics? Agribusinesses and producers face more decisions than ever.
You need an attorney that understands your business and can help take the load off.
