AGRIBUSINESS AND AGRICULTURAL LAW

Slovak Baron & Empey LLP has a long history of representing agricultural and agribusiness concerns, including large production farms, vineyards, ranches, wineries, processing facilities and significant lenders and investors in the agricultural and agribusiness industries. Increasing governmental regulation, land use and wetlands issues, coupled with financing, development and marketing nuances, continue to force those involved in agribusiness to employ legal services. Lawyers working in this area have experience in financing, real estate, natural resources, regulatory, environmental and water issues, international trade and legislative affairs, as well as other matters that are frequently involved in the operation of farms, ranches and other agribusiness concerns. This breadth of experience adds an extra dimension to our advice and counsel to our lending clients as we assist them in structuring the ownership of their organizations, preparing loan transactions and in assessing issues that arise during the borrower lender relationship, including those that arise upon default.
