Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 29, 2026!

As your landscape, turfgrass, or horticulture  industry business expands, your revenue isn't the only thing increasing—your legal exposure is scaling right alongside it. Too many business owners focus strictly on top-line revenue growth while inadvertently creating structural blind spots in HR, contract agreements, or corporate tax structures. When the time comes to exit, negotiate a buyout, or hand off the reins, those unaddressed liabilities can severely undercut your market value.

Join your fellow Urban Ag Council peers for an exclusive UAC Networking + Education Dinner & Legal Summit designed to help you safeguard your hard work, avoid costly disputes, and maximize long-term equity.

What You'll Learn:

• Tax-Efficient Structuring: Maximize profit retention and structure operating agreements to attract buyers or investors.
• HR & Employment Safeguards: Prevent sloppy administrative habits from escalating into six-figure employment disputes.
