Agribusiness is currently one of the main sectors of the national economy and accounts for a significant portion of the country's GDP, which grew by 14.46% in the first six months of 2021. In addition to supplying the domestic market, agribusiness also exports its products abroad.

This set of economic activities has even given rise to a specific branch of legal practice: Agricultural Law, a field of legal science dedicated to regulating relationships stemming from the use and management of rural property.

In addition to being enshrined in the Constitution, the rules applicable to Agricultural Law are scattered across various legal frameworks, including Civil, Environmental, Criminal, and Tax Law. As a result, legal professionals in this field must possess broad and multidisciplinary expertise.                                                     

The primary areas of practice in Agricultural Law include:

• Purchase and sale of rural properties;
• Advisory services and analysis of contracts and insurance policies;
• Establishment of agricultural leases and partnerships;
• Representation in Environmental Law matters;
• Engagement in international transactions;
• Judicial reorganization of rural businesses;
• Advising on self-production credits;
• Development of compliance strategies within Agricultural Law;
• Structuring risk mitigation strategies for rural businesses, among other activities.
