A brand-new qualification in agri-business and food law is on offer from the Law Society of Ireland, beginning on 20 October at the Diploma Centre. 

The new Certificate in Agri-business and Food Law has been developed in recognition of the importance of the agri-food sector as Ireland’s largest indigenous industry.

Many solicitors advise farmers and those working in the agri-business and food industry on a daily basis.

Providing legal services to this fast-moving and dynamic sector requires not only a comprehensive understanding of the law, but also of the business environment that applies. 

The qualification will allow solicitors and those working in the agri-business and food industry to better understand the law as it applies to the sector.

The syllabus provides an insight into the legislative and regulatory structures that apply to the sector, together with an analysis of recent case law.

'Farm-to-fork'

Designed to give comprehensive coverage of the ‘farm-to-fork’-related legal issues, the course will include modules on food and farm regulation, enforcement, succession, tax, commercial contract issues, and business operating structures.
