FERRERE’s food industry clients include companies that are leaders in the international market, among them Nestlé, Arcor, and Sadia. The attorneys who service this industry are highly specialized, so their advisory activity often relates to strategic activities.

In addition to leading and participating in initiatives for regulatory change, the firm often anticipates trends, opportunities, and regulatory threats. This allows it to avoid or mitigate problems for its clients and to position them advantageously.

Obtaining permits, managing registrations and approvals of foods, and negotiating with regulatory agencies and distribution and sales companies are everyday activities for the professionals at FERRERE. Their experience is decisive in managing complex situations related to income and approval and recall of products. They are able to join forces with food engineers, pharmaceutical chemists, and specialists in regulatory areas.

In terms of time-to-market, food industry clients particularly appreciate the advantage offered by advice that combines very specific legal and regulatory knowledge with the rapid response required in the industry.

Agustín Mayer, partner at FERRERE, tells how the firm perfected its specialization in highly regulated industries.
