Preparing Your 2015 Food Safety Plan: Legal and Insurance Considerations

Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren s.c. and Associated Financial Group collaborated for a joint presentation: Preparing Your 2015 Food Safety Plan: Legal and Insurance Considerations.

With clients at all levels of the food supply chain, and as members of FaB Wisconsin, we recognize that 2015 brings new compliance, risk management and safety challenges unlike anything businesses have faced in the past. For that reason, both Reinhart and Associated Financial Group created Food & Beverage Practices and developed specialized expertise to help our clients navigate these issues. Our goal is to simplify complicated issues for our clients and provide knowledge and creative solutions so they can maintain focus on running their companies.
