Food Law

The agri-food sector is highly regulated in the EU. This sector, which comprises agricultural and livestock production as well as retail activities, requires specialised advice given its strategic importance, complexity and the variety of the players involved.

Our multidisciplinary food law team provides comprehensive advice on contractual and regulatory matters as well as disputes. We have also been involved in major corporate transactions and complex matters in areas such as taxation, advertising, employment and competition.

We also advise on food supplements, especially in relation to labelling, commercialisation, health claims and administrative proceedings.

We assist with:

• M&A and corporate and restructuring transactions
• Regulatory advice
• Distribution agreements and the food supply chain
• Creation of digital platforms for product commercialisation
• Advertising, contests and promotions
• Administrative and legal proceedings
• Taxation
• Employment matters
• Competition matters
• Industrial property and unfair competition
