Mitchell S. Presser

Morrison Foerster is recognized and ranked as the leading firm representing business and investors focused on food and agriculture. Our cross-disciplinary team includes attorneys with strong technical backgrounds and deep industry knowledge of the food & agriculture sector. We partnered with AgroFresh to address its unique business challenges, relying on our industry-related transactional and financing experience to provide strategic advice to help it overcome capital constraints and position itself for future growth. We helped the company complete its $545 million go-private buyout deal with sustainable food chain investing firm Paine Schwartz Partners, as well as successfully acquire Tessara, a post-harvest solutions provider, from global investment firm Carlyle.

The members of the MoFo team have the industry expertise to deeply immerse themselves in our business. They focus not only on the legal aspects at hand, but also on the drivers of our business, and that makes them very effective partners for AgroFresh.
