Agriculture and Forestry
In order to act in a legally compliant manner in the areas of agriculture and forestry, it is necessary to have knowledge of a whole range of different special legal matters in addition to, general contract law and competition law.

However, economics, ecology, and consumer protection are not contradictions, but require legal advice oriented toward practicability and economic efficiency in the legally compliant implementation of the applicable requirements.
