Gain an understanding of the production, distribution, and retailing of food within your desired markets.
Gain an understanding of the production, distribution, and retailing of food within your desired markets. The production, distribution, and retailing of food (including restaurant operations) is America's largest industry representing more than 20% of America's GDP. It is difficult to imagine a major law firm that does not have food industry clients. The most sweeping changes in the regulation of America's food supply in the last 75 years are currently underway. Whatever you, as a lawyer, knew about the food business prior to 2015 is now significantly obsolete. It is essential that practicing business lawyers understand the most important aspects of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010.
