Agribusiness

Our role in agribusiness is one we value highly and enthusiastically embrace. Our practitioners have built a strong reputation for clear, practical and straightforward advice, so working with primary producers, one of the most down-to-earth groups in the business community, is a natural fit.

We work closely with industry associations, farmers and large rural properties, such as cropping and grazing properties, fruit blocks and vineyards providing assistance across all areas of commercial law.

One of our predecessor firms, Donaldson Walsh (DW), was the official provider of legal services to the South Australian Farmers Federation (SAFF) and its members from 2008 until mid-2013 when SAFF transitioned to Primary Producers SA (PPSA).

As an extension of this close relationship, DW Fox Tucker continues to provide legal services to PPSA today.

What Clients Say

I decided to seek the advice of DW Fox Tucker’s specialist agribusiness team to assist with a complex commercial agreement. The agreement was going to be critical in opening our business to new sources of revenue, and it would cement our position as a market leader for years to come. From the very first meeting, I was very impressed with their knowledge of the grain industry and the professionalism they displayed in handling this matter. Brett and Victoria took the time to understand every aspect of my business and what I needed to achieve from this agreement. They were responsive, efficient and respectful - working with me every step of the way to achieve a terrific outcome. After such a great experience, I’ll have no hesitation in appointing DW Fox Tucker as my legal advisors for future legal matters.
