We help grain producers, seed nutrient and fertilizer companies, terminals, grain elevators, barge lines and other agribusiness companies bring America's harvest to the marketplace in the United States and abroad. On the transactional side, we assist these companies in acquiring other businesses; chartering, buying and leasing equipment; forming new business ventures; drafting bills of lading and other contract documents; analyzing insurance coverage issues; negotiating rail and other transportation agreements; developing programs to comply with environmental and other government regulations; buying real estate in and about U.S. ports; and a host of other essential business functions. When disputes with other companies, employees and government agencies arise, as they sometimes do, we can frequently help resolve them without the need for a lawsuit; but when court action becomes necessary or advisable, we offer our clients skilled and experienced trial lawyers who have litigated a broad variety of complex commercial disputes involving agribusiness issues.
