Due Diligence Workshop: Regulations Investors & Entrepreneurs Need to Know

Location: The Moderns, 900 Broadway New York, NY 10003‎
Tickets: $15. RSVP and Purchase on Meetup. Space limited.

"Due Diligence” is a term that can strike fear into the hearts of both Investors and Entrepreneurs. Yet, it's an important process.

Given that the food industry is so extensively regulated with so many specialized rules, even sophisticated investors and entrepreneurs can overlook important regulatory requirements.

Jason Foscolo and Lauren Holden of The Food Law Firm present a training workshop that will identify the areas of regulatory risk seen in their legal practice, including:
* Food and nutrition labeling requirements
* Liability, indemnification, and insurance.
* Food safety regulations such as the Food Safety Modernization Act.
* Labeling and Marketing Claims
* Agricultural lending, the Uniform Commercial Code, and secured transactions.
* Chapter 12, Agricultural Bankruptcy.
* Special laws pertaining only to agriculture, such as the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, the Agricultural Fair Practices Act, and the Packers and Stockyards Act.
* Environmental liability and compliance.
