Local ranchers and farmers have trusted our firm for generations, and vineyards and wineries have always been part of our client mix. It only made sense that as this wine region exploded in popularity in the last two decades, Andre, Morris & Buttery’s representation expanded to include newcomers alongside veteran growers and winemakers. And we don’t limit our talents to wine. AMB is proud to represent greenhouse growers, row crop producers, ranchers and other agricultural interests. A sampling to the matters the Firm has been involved with includes the following:
- Agriculture and grazing leases, grape contracts.
- Water rights, environmental compliance.
- Land use issues, easement and boundary issues.
- Property and business – acquisition and sale.
- Employment counseling.
- Trademarks & licensing.
- Dispute resolution.
- Sales & distribution, alcoholic beverage compliance.
