With 200 lawyers, including 72 partners, we provide our clients with service and expertise in all themajor fields of law across our seven offices in France and in Belgium. Racine is one of the very few law firms in France that has created a department dedicated to agri- business and is likely the only firm to cover all product sectors. Racine advises players in the agricultural and agri- business industries. This requires deep-seated knowledge of the entire sector, from the ground to the table and ranging from farming, production, processing, selling and distribution. This enables the firm to advise producers (farmers, wine producers and forest owners), their economic partners (seed producers and suppliers, cooperatives, industrial producers and traders) and the various relevant organisations in the food chain (unions, producer organisations, inter-professional organisations). Racine assists its clients in both an advisory and litigation capacity (including professional arbitration) to resolve legal and property issues arising from the land, production, structural operations and product sales. Well-establishedwithin administrative authorities and sectorial institutions, who also frequently consult the team, Racine’s team lawyers are also involved in the drafting and amendment of French and European legislation and regulations relating to agriculture and the farming sectors.
