The breadth of our team and experience enables us to advise on every legal issue that may arise “from farm to fork”. Typical areas of legal interest for clients include product development, production, safety, marketing, distribution, retail and consumption. As a full service law firm, we also advise on the range of commercial issues that are faced by all companies operating in Ireland and expanding internationally.
We have particular expertise in EU law and the operation of Irish food and agri businesses as part of the EU.
We regularly deliver workshops on food labelling, food safety and regulation externally and to in-house teams.
