Business and Corporate Law

• Business Disputes
  The law is enforced by USDA through the PACA Branch. The PACA Branch is headed by a Chief who oversees three sections in Washington, D.C. (Trade Practices, Dispute Resolution and Licensing), and three regional offices. Each Regional Office is staffed with persons available to answer questions about the law or contract disputes, and investigate violations of the law. The PACA Branch is assisted by USDA attorneys who act as presiding officers in deciding contract disputes, and who advise the PACA Branch on all legal questions.
