Agriculture Law: A Tradition of Service

Siskinds' strong ties to the agricultural community translate into a long history of meeting the legal needs of a range of agribusiness clients, from multinational suppliers, to regional processors and agricultural lenders, to local and regional farm families.

To ensure clients get the best legal advice available, the Agriculture Law group works closely with tax practitioners, financial planners, sales representatives, valuators and agribusiness lenders; it is an associate member of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture; and it maintains an office in Dresden, Ontario to more effectively serve clients in the southern part of the province.

Recently, the firm has served clients on these matters:

• the purchase and sale of farm businesses, farm lands, and farm assets
• succession, estate and tax planning for owner-operated agribusiness clients
• financing and secured lending
• debt enforcement
• regulatory board hearings
• tax appeals
• plaintiff and defence litigation arising in the agricultural marketplace
