AGRICULTURAL LAW

Rural lease, expansion, transfer, acquisition… Farmers and winegrowers have to deal with these common operations in order to properly manage and develop their farm. They also have to confirm compliance with SAFER’s rules & regulations and general structure inspections.
With the constant evolution of law, agri-entrepreneurs are compelled to adopt more stringent standards, requiring a better anticipation of regulatory changes. From this observation, TERRÉSA law firm intervenes in the definition of the right growth strategy and provides support for farm manager and/or investor in all operating procedures.
The number, diversity and complexity of cases handled with SAFER enable TERRÉSA law firm to draw on real field expertise throughout the country.

Armed with their experience, the partners and lawyers at TERRÉSA intervene at a very early stage in order to provide the best support possible as in relations and negotiations with SAFER.
