Food: everybody needs it, every day. And more and more, consumers care about what they’re eating and where it comes from. For entrepreneurs, this presents opportunities as well as challenges.
The food industry is also heavily regulated, at both the state and federal level. Businesses need dedicated legal counsel to advise and represent them on matters ranging from food safety to labeling and marketing, and everything in between. Nigel is proud to offer his expertise, including to small businesses and startups.
If you have a food business, or are thinking of starting one, contact Nigel to learn more about his services.
