Agriculture

Businesses operating in agriculture face a diverse set of challenges, some common to many companies in the industry, and some specific to their own circumstances. Regardless of the kinds of challenges that are involved, our team of professionals has extensive experience in helping solve them.

• In the agricultural industry, civil disputes arise from the non-performance of contracts due to natural causes, fundamental changes in market prices, and a number of other reasons, often involving complex arguments about penalties and losses. We frequently represent clients in such cases.
• Financial derivatives to hedge against changes in commodity prices are extremely common in the commodity export sector, but such complex instruments are difficult for public authorities to understand, and the Tax Inspectorate, the Competition Council, and other institutions are often asked to resolve complicated and confusing questions. Our team is closely acquainted with these instruments, follows their development, and successfully defends clients in disputes with the state that involve them.
• International trade in agricultural products such as plant protection products and fertilizers is inevitably linked to customs law and import and export procedures. Our Tax Dispute team can assist with such matters.
• Innovation in agriculture, the introduction of new products or services, e-trade, the remote provision of services, and the protection of personal data are just a few of the areas in which our Corporate Law team specializes and is ready to help.

Representatives of our Tax, Corporate, and Litigation departments frequently work together to assist with acquisitions, expansions, and reorganizations, and these joint teams accompany clients throughout all related processes.
