Agribusiness is thriving and continues to evolve both domestically and internationally. 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.

This certificate will provide participants with the legal knowledge required to advise agri-food clients, together with a practical understanding of the business environments in which such clients operate. You will be provided with an insight into the legislative and regulatory structures that apply to the sector, together with an analysis of recent case law.
