Strategic legal counsel for agriculture and food trade

We provide tailored legal services under WTO and USMCA frameworks to address trade issues impacting agriculture and foodstuffs

The agriculture and foodstuffs industry operates at the intersection of trade policy, sustainability, and food security.

Our practice offers strategic legal counsel to multinational corporations, industry associations, and government clients on matters arising under general international trade law, as well as under the WTO Agreement on Agriculture and USMCA Chapter 3. We provide advice on agricultural subsidies, tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures, and market access commitments.

Our expertise also includes representing clients in disputes over trade barriers, export restrictions, or compliance with international obligations related to food safety standards and biotechnology. Our team has direct experience assisting the panel in Mexico - Genetically Modified Corn, a dispute arising under USMCA Chapter 31, involving, primarily, claims under Chapter 9 of the USMCA treaty.

Whether you are navigating complex subsidy disciplines or addressing disputes impacting your agricultural exports, we deliver practical solutions that safeguard your interests while promoting sustainable trade practices.
