Cooperatives
Cooperatives continue to be a leading force in Iowa’s agricultural business landscape. At BrownWinick we not only understand how cooperatives work, but we have led the way in making sure that cooperative law matches the innovations in cooperative management and finance by working closely with the Iowa Legislature to write laws that allow cooperatives to continue to maintain their leadership in Iowa’s agribusiness community. In the cooperative structure arena, we assist cooperatives with mergers, setting up joint projects, conversions to or from cooperatives from other kinds of business organizations, and dealing with regional cooperative issues. In the business area, we work with cooperative clients to assist them with contracting, real estate transfers and acquisitions, employment issues and litigation.
