Recent developments
Businesses like Bayer and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association have partnered with us for decades. Clients value the “meaningful and collaborative relationships” we share with them, and our “keen interest in commercial priorities and strategic direction” (client quote, The Legal 500 2023).
These connections put us at the heart of the industry, allowing us to adapt and influence positive change as the landscape evolves. By staying ahead of industry shifts, we provide clients with a unique perspective on their challenges, crafting intelligent solutions tailored to their needs. In doing so, we give them the confidence to navigate uncertainty and change.
Whatever our clients’ challenges, and wherever they’re based, we’ve got a team ready to help. Clients have partnered with us on international deals in over 45 countries—from managing international registration transfers to navigating IP rights and drawing up complex manufacturing and licensing agreements.
Whether our clients need advice on international distribution agreements, support with forming US start-ups, or guidance on sustainable agriculture in the EU, our global teams deliver tailored, impactful solutions.
With lawyers spanning six continents, our advice accounts for local nuances most lawyers would overlook—giving our clients the confidence to grow and innovate.
They trust us for our expertise and results. In the past year alone, we have advised over 100 clients on more than 200 transactions, including some of the most complex and high-profile matters in the sector. This includes representing the rollover shareholders in the sale of Golden State Foods (GSF), one of the largest diversified suppliers to the food service industry.
Our commitment to delivering exceptional value to clients has earned us industry-wide recognition. PitchBook ranks us among the top 25 most active venture capital law firms, while Chambers Global Market Leaders 2024 awarded us a Band 2 ranking in Agribusiness.
And it doesn’t stop there. Our partners care about the future of the industry and many come with direct backgrounds in the industry. They’ve listened to client challenges over decades, and this helps them lead conversations on emerging trends, anticipate industry shifts, and influence best practices.
By partnering with us, clients don’t just get top-tier legal advice; they unlock access to cutting-edge insights from lawyers who are shaping the future of their industry.
