Co-authored by Peter Slegers, Joshua Pascale and Daniel Marateo of Cowell Clarke’s Agribusiness and Tax & Revenue groups, the Agri-Guide traverses, amongst other things, the challenging issues associated with optimal business structuring for the agribusiness sector, agribusiness acquisitions and sales, business succession, navigating the tax maze (including optimising the use of tax concessions) as well as addressing the ever-changing issues relating to inter-generational succession planning.
The Agri-Guide also deals with industry specific issues including, for instance, those relating to wine and viticulture, the fishing industry and water rights.
The Agri-Guide has arisen from the authors’ passion and experience in dealing with specialist tax, structuring, transactional and succession planning issues impacting on the various industries comprising the agribusiness sector.
The Agri-Guide will be of particular use to accountants, financial advisers, agribusiness consultants, commercial lawyers and other professional advisers to the sector. It also has relevance to CFOs and internal management personnel employed by corporates connected with the agribusiness sector.

The Cowell Clarke Australian Agribusiness Advisers’ Guide is always close at hand as it provides me with valuable information on tax, structuring, transactional and succession planning issues.

As an Adviser focusing on the Agribusiness industry, I found the Australian Agribusiness Advisers’ Guide to be an absolute lifesaver. This guide is a one-stop shop for all Agribusiness related issues. The information is practical, relevant and detailed but easy to read and understand, with useful examples throughout. I keep a copy of this guide on my desk handy at all times.

In over 25 years of practice, I am yet to see a publication that remotely matches the Cowell Clarke guide for its quality, depth and breadth of information. What also sets it apart is that, although it is highly technical in nature, it is written in digestible language and is loaded with practical tips and traps. It is also clear that the team at Cowell Clarke understand how the legislation is applied in the real world. I can thoroughly recommend the guide to any professional working in the Agribusiness space.

Forsyths has had the pleasure of being introduced to the Australian Agribusiness Advisers' Guide this year, which we have found to be a unique and valuable resource. It is a ‘one stop shop’ reference, for issues affecting our Agribusiness clients. Clear language, with practical tips and examples that are easy to read, yet technically detailed all at the same time. It is the commentary you need when the legislation is doing your head in.
Joanne Kelly (Principal) - Forsyths
The Australian Agribusiness Advisers' Guide is a clear and concise resource authored by commercial lawyers with extensive practical experience. I have found the guide to be a valuable tool when providing advice to agribusiness clients and I am yet to come across any other agribusiness guide which covers this level of detail. I recommend the guide to all professional advisers working in the agribusiness sector.
