Food & Agribusiness
Overview
In the food and agribusiness industry, you navigate a competitive and fast-changing commercial landscape — all while working to feed the world efficiently and responsibly. As advisers to many of the world’s leading food and agribusiness companies since 1912, we understand the legal, regulatory and business challenges you confront on an everyday basis. Our team of 250+ attorneys and consulting professionals partners with you to develop and execute strategies related to the science, economics, markets, government regulation, dispute resolution and public relations aspects of the field-to-plate cycles. When disputes, regulatory changes or product recalls emerge, our regulatory and litigation teams provide peace of mind as you implement new compliance protocols or tackle high-stakes litigation. And our colleagues at Faegre Drinker Consulting support clients on the regulatory issues and affairs that impact food and agribusiness stakeholders.
