Business and Agriculture

Business disputes and transactions have been practice areas for Shawn since day one. He has represented public and private companies in many industries in the U.S. and internationally, including agriculture, automotive, engineering, public relations, farming, investments, medical facilities, ranching, real estate development, and restaurants. He has resolved several business and fraud cases totaling millions of dollars, and in December 2014, obtained a $1.4 Million federal court judgment arising from a breach of contract and fraud action.

Since 1988, for over 36 years, Shawn has dedicated a significant amount of his practice to assisting agricultural businesses ranging from farmers to produce growers and cattlemen. His expertise has been recognized by his current status as a referral lawyer for the Western Growers Association, which comprises over 3,300 farming operations in Arizona and California. The uses and management of agricultural and ranch land and assets in the Western states is a unique and challenging arena, subject to separate sets of laws, regulations, and government policies that continue to evolve over time. Shawn addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by this niche, drawing from his significant experience and knowledge.
