We represent agricultural enterprises in a wide range of legal issues and judicial and regulatory proceedings, from multimillion-dollar litigation involving environmental claims, the Packers and Stockyards Act (PSA), breach of contract and product liability claims, to litigation involving mergers and joint ventures, and other financial and real estate transactions involving cooperatives, farm corporations and farm partnerships.

While the goal of every agribusiness is to conduct business in a manner that results in few disputes and losses resulting from the actions of business partners or government enforcement, agribusinesses of any significant size know that commercial disputes or governmental enforcement actions or inquiries are part of operating. When clients face commercial disputes or enforcement inquiries or actions, we put our skill and experience to use and work quickly to provide solutions focused on best outcomes.

In addition to our significant experience in state and federal courtrooms, we practice before the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Farm Credit Administration, and other state and federal agencies that oversee agriculture. We also have significant experience handling agribusiness matters in arbitration proceedings.
