Lawyers to the international grains industry.
Our global team is built up of experts across all areas of the commodities industry, including physical supply, transportation, OTC and exchange-traded derivatives, regulation, blockchain and finance. Many of our lawyers have worked in the industry, giving us unrivalled experience and expertise. We understand the industry at every stage of the supply chain and work with our clients through evolving markets and assist them with the new challenges faced due to changes in products, market participants, trading platforms, financing and regulation.
We act for grain houses, brokers and traders of grain, rice, sugar, fats and seeds, cotton, coffee and fertilisers. We have strong experience of claims before Gafta arbitrators.
We advise on all sectors of the grain and feed industry, from production and terminal operation through physical and derivatives trading to end use. We assist clients with:
