Agriculture
Modern agriculture is an increasingly complex and important business, requiring a sophisticated legal team that provides full-service representation and real-world knowledge of the industry. FMJ’s Agriculture Practice Group has legal experience in all aspects of agribusiness, including general corporate and transactional matters, farm succession and estate planning, and litigation.
Navigating the business and legal issues around cooperatives and farmers’ elevators requires an attorney with a background in agriculture. We have one of the most experienced teams in the nation representing cooperatives from all sectors of the agricultural industry. In addition, several FMJ attorneys were raised on farms or in farming communities, so we understand the industry. Our Agriculture attorneys represent many types of cooperatives and independent elevators, including grain, feed, chemical and fuel. We provide representation on the full spectrum of legal issues for these businesses, including issues concerning equities and patronage, bylaws and other governing documents, contract, employment, and real estate matters, credit issues, complex multi-state mergers, acquisitions, and more. FMJ has a variety of experience across the industry, and whether we are helping a farmer buy their first farm, merging neighboring cooperative elevators, or assisting an agribusiness with complex regulatory issues, our Agriculture Practice Group has most likely seen and done it all.
With offices in the Twin Cities and New Ulm, one of Minnesota’s most vibrant farming communities, FMJ is the regional go-to law firm for all legal issues in agriculture.
