Jim's legal knowledge has guided some of the world’s most visible food and agriculture companies, along with their investors and financers.

He also worked as a plant manager for the citrus cooperative Sunkist, where he accumulated additional perspective on the food industry. A frequent speaker on corporate governance, securities law issues, and mergers and acquisitions, Jim is a former member of Husch Blackwell’s Executive Board.

Jim’s engagements in the agribusiness industry cover a range of issues, including mergers and acquisitions, international expansion, governance, securities and various general corporate matters.
