Agtech

Agtech has advanced the way agricultural industry approaches all aspects of the supply chain: upstream at the farm, midstream with the processor, and downstream with the consumer. Agtech tools, including improved data management, labor saving technologies, and higher quality inputs and seed traits, help farmers sustain healthy soils, increase crop production, and bolster the broader agricultural industry.

Agribusiness is increasingly global. With offices in Europe, the Middle East, the United States, Latin America, Australia, and Asia, our team represents a wide range of agribusinesses, including agtech companies, in key markets worldwide. The scope of our international reach allows us to do cross-border consultation and serve clients in a variety of subject matters from mergers and acquisitions, licensing, and finance to intellectual property, antitrust, and regulatory issues.

Our team also has lawyers with scientific, technical, regulatory, and operational backgrounds in the agriculture and food sectors. Our understanding of public policy and regulations, coupled with governmental experience, gives our clients an important edge when dealing with regulatory agencies involved in the agtech sector.
