Agriculture in rural America and around the world has changed drastically in the last 50 years and it continues to change year after year. Farmers and agribusinesses face complex legal issues and they look to their legal team to find creative and cutting-edge solutions to those issues. They want attorneys that understand their industry.
Many businesses have joined together to form purchasing cooperatives or shared services cooperatives. Members of these cooperatives have found that, by pooling their purchasing power to acquire goods and services, they can lower their operating costs. The existence of these purchasing cooperatives or shared services cooperatives has changed the outlook for many “Main Street” businesses and Dorsey attorneys have helped them organize and recognize those savings.
Dorsey’s Agribusiness, Rural Electric and Cooperatives practice group is a recognized national leader in the field of agribusiness and cooperative law. Our group has more than 25 years of experience working with regional agricultural cooperatives, agribusinesses, rural electric cooperatives, purchasing cooperatives and start-up organizations across the nation. Dorsey’s attorneys work with agribusinesses and
cooperatives in industries such as agriculture, energy and utilities, purchasing, housing, professional services and healthcare. We also represent other agriculture-related organizations such as commodity promotion groups, cooperative banks and cooperative trade associations.
Our attorneys have wide-spread experience from such areas as project development and finance, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, labor, employment and employee benefits, environmental, land use and permits, securities, international and trade regulations, construction contracts, intellectual property and licensing, FERC and other regulatory matters, plus areas unique to cooperatives, including formation and organization, voting rights and governance issues, antitrust/Capper Volstead Act and tax issues.

Dorsey’s attorneys understand the needs of rural America and have the expertise in the legal aspects of transactions, markets and regulation.
