Food law is a highly interconnected field that is directly impacted by agricultural production, environmental protection, natural resource management, and intellectual property. Join us in Chicago for this full-day conference that offers an overview of the evolving legal issues shaping the food and beverage industry. Attorneys with all levels of practice experience who attend this program will better understand: the current regulations governing aquaculture’s rapidly growing global market; how to expand Illinois food and beverage sales into California without triggering private enforcement claims, class actions, and high-dollar settlements; what you need to know about livestock welfare standards and the animal-raising label laws impacting consumers; the emerging litigation surrounding ultra-processed foods; the legal strategies used by FarmSTAND to drive transparency and local food access; the unique obstacles journalists face when reporting on the food sector; how geopolitical friction and trade shocks disrupt agribusiness profitability; and how to navigate contract law, liquidity, and capital access for emerging brands. Register here.
