Cooperative Law

Cooperatives play a leading role in the agribusiness, food and beverage industries, and we work extensively with them. Our clients include marketing, purchasing, supply and service cooperatives, as well as cooperative lenders. We believe that the true value we bring to our cooperative clients is our deep understanding of the architecture of the cooperative business enterprise, including its unique financial and structural characteristics. We also know the specific tax, securities, antitrust and other legal frameworks in which cooperatives operate. Such understanding and knowledge allows us to give better informed advice in all substantive areas of law that affect our cooperative clients, and helps us formulate better solutions.
