About Attorney Awards

Agricultural and Agribusiness Industry Team

The Agribusiness team of attorneys at Smith Haughey has a long history of representing individuals and businesses engaged in all manner of agricultural operations in Michigan. We serve a wide variety of clients, including local farmers, international distributors, food processors, supermarkets, dairies, vineyards, agricultural trade associations, agricultural research institutions, and more.

With offices in some of the agricultural hotspots of Michigan, and an attorney team that includes an agricultural economist, biologist, and small farm owner, Smith Haughey is uniquely qualified to help agribusinesses thrive. We offer clients a comprehensive, one-stop solution for all their legal needs.

Our clients rely on us for knowledgeable, proactive counsel on ever-changing regulatory matters, including environmental, labor and employment, product labeling, product recalls, food liability issues, land use, water and mineral rights, and interstate transportation.

The agribusiness team consists of lawyers who help clients with general business issues such as financing, corporate entity formation, lease and contract preparation, estate and tax planning, worker's compensation, government relations, e-commerce, insurance coverage, and litigation. We are well equipped to assist every level of agribusiness operation, from small farmers who are facing more sophisticated legal issues than ever before, to corporations that wrestle with the complexities of international distribution.

Our agribusiness attorneys are also called upon to help family farms and vineyards launch agri-tourism (or value-added agriculture) operations. Whether a farmer wants to offer a corn maze in the fall or a vineyard owner seeks a liquor license for an on-site tasting room, we have the experience and insight to smooth the way.

We are also pleased to assist farmers and other landowners with another emerging business issue: the granting of their wind and solar rights to third parties. Our Renewable Energy Team has provided invaluable counsel to land owners venturing into this arena.

We are an accessible, efficient, economical legal resource for the agricultural community.

Diversity

The practice of law is, by definition, the pursuit of social justice. So it should come as no surprise that equal opportunity is woven into the very fabric of our firm. Our mission is to fully apreciate and understand the value of diversity among our employees, clients, and our community. We consistently work to enhance the diversity in our firm and community and to incorporate the values of diversity into our firm's vision, culture, policies and practices. We have implemented a variety of programs designed to help all of us at Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge live these principles every day. These include everything from participating in the Grand Rapids Bar Association Clerkship Diversity Program to sending employees to a two-day workshop at the Community Institute for Healing Racism to supporting programs that get abused women on their feet and back in the workforce. We also have a diversity committee comprised of 25 attorneys and staff members from all four of our offices who meet regularly to direct the firm's efforts. We are proud that 60% of our workforce is female and that in the past five years 40% of our new attorneys have been female. In addition to 20 female attorneys, nine of whom are shareholders, women hold all of the firm's top management positions. Our goal is to provide our employees and clients with the skill, understanding, experience, and creativity to attain their goals in a diverse world.
