Message From The Chair

Welcome to the GPSolo Agriculture Law Committee! Although others are welcome, this Committee is designed for lawyers who practice in the small firm or solo practitioner setting. Agriculture law touches upon nearly every area of law, it is just geared towards a specific industry. This committee helps facilitate conversation and educational events on the following areas:

• farm/ranch estate planning;
  


• agri-business succession planning;
  
  
• farm/ranch divorces;
  
  
• agriculture taxation;
  
  
• environmental regulation on agriculture;
  
  
• food & agriculture policy;
  
  
• business law and commercial litigation as it applies to agriculture;
  
  
• grant writing for farms and agri-businesses;
  
  
• food/ag insurance (e.g., crop insurance, livestock insurance, product liability insurance, environmental insurance);
  
  
• equine law;
  
  
• food/ag intellectual property;
  
  
• food safety and labeling;
  
  
• property and land use law;
  
  
• international food and agriculture law;
  
  
• biotechnology;
  
  
• animal law (e.g., livestock space/confinement);
  
  
• criminal law (e.g., livestock animal welfare, livesock trespass, livestock space);
  
  
• fiber and leather production;
  
  
• urban/ suburban agriculture;
  
  
• agri-tourism/agri-tainment;
  
  
• tort law (e.g., Right-to-Farm law); and,
  
  
• Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”)

Thirteen (13) subcommittees have been developed to help encourage conversation and education in these practice areas. As a solo practitioner myself, I know first-hand the value in building relationships with other agriculture attorneys with similar practice areas. I hope that this Committee will help build that invaluable community for lawyers who practice agriculture law in a small firm setting.

Please make sure to join the Committee discussion list. If you are interested in getting involved, please email me at cari@rinckerlaw.com or call me at (212) 427-2049.
