The business of Australian agriculture has always held an important place in our economy. In recent times food security has become an international issue and foreign investors have starting buying up Australian land and businesses.
Energy and resources companies compete for the right to prospect and drill on prime agricultural land. Water and biosecurity issues are paramount. Skills shortages prevail. Government enquiries lead to new and more complex regulations. Understanding how to manage these varied demands requires multi-disciplined lawyers with depth of industry knowledge and experience.
