Food, Agribusiness,
and Veterinary Law

We assist stakeholders in the food and agribusiness sectors with legal issues arising at all stages of the production and distribution chain, as well as in livestock activities, including product withdrawals and recalls, contamination events, proceedings initiated by administrative authorities, contractual disputes, liability matters, and more.

We have in-depth knowledge of French and European regulations on food safety, labelling, and traceability.

Our expertise also extends to veterinary law, with a dedicated practice in equine law serving professionals across the sector (breeders, veterinarians, operators, insurers), addressing issues such as liability, claims, insurance coverage, and regulatory compliance specific to the industry.

· Defence of manufacturers of finished products for human consumption following contamination of said products by contaminated raw materials or foreign bodies: issues relating to product withdrawals and recalls, regulatory and contractual compliance checks, and traceability.

· Defence of producers of animal feed supplements following the death of animals or contamination of farms: court-appointed expert proceedings to determine the cause of the contamination.

· Defence of an industrial company specialised in mozzarella production due to defects affecting its production equipment, resulting in a risk of contamination for consumers.

· Defence of a distributor of specialty chemicals and ingredients in a contamination dispute leading to the recall of finished products: purchase from the manufacturer and subsequent sale of an ingredient incorporated into the production of a food flavouring, itself incorporated into the manufacture of surimi finished products.
