Agriculture
Agricultural Business Law
Farming and agriculture is big business, contributing significantly to our local and provincial economy, with its own unique set of legal issues (in addition to those issues shared by other businesses). Accordingly, the modern farmer requires experienced legal advisors familiar with the agricultural industry to help make sound business decisions, and to work together through various issues that may arise.
With our roots in the Fraser Valley, we have been working with agricultural businesses throughout the province (and beyond) for a long time, and so have not only developed an understanding of the many issues faced by these businesses, but have also developed the required experience to address those issues in a practical manner.
