Agriculture
The agricultural industries are familiar to Crowell & Moring LLP. Most of the firm's substantive practice capabilities involve representation of agricultural interests in counseling, in the courts and before regulatory agencies in the United States and worldwide. On any given day Crowell & Moring is busy:
- Counseling our client's Crop Protection units on matters of product regulatory registration and sale
- Defending livestock producers in EPA, state enforcement proceedings and citizens suits
- Advising national livestock trade associations on associational rights and protections
- In court defending clients in nationwide fungicide tort litigation
- Providing policy, technical, and public affairs services and expertise on a broad range of issues for agriculture, food processing and related industries
- Obtaining patents and trademarks for our biotechnology clients through our Intellectual Property practice
- Advocating for our agricultural sector clients globally on world trade issues through our trade arm, C&M International
Our work in the agricultural sectors benefits from our combination of knowledge of the relevant industry sector, the pertinent substantive specialties, and the toxicology, biology, and chemistry sciences at issue in agricultural matters. Our access to Congress and to government bodies worldwide enable our clients to adopt a holistic approach to problem-solving that goes beyond traditional litigation and counseling strategies. And our multidisciplinary Biotechnology and Natural Resources & Environmental practices are well situated to represent the full array of agricultural concerns.
