Lacey Act Violations Can Be Confusing Without A Business Law Attorney

If you are facing allegations of having violated the Lacey Act, you will likely need a lawyer in your corner to protect you. The Lacey Act was originally established to limit hunting, trafficking, and selling certain types of protected fish, plants or wildlife. “Plant life” includes certain types of woods or timber. If your business is a furniture import business, for example, compliance with the Lacey Act is critical to the success of your business.

Do not ignore a notice about Lacey Act violations. The civil penalties are steep and could include criminal penalties as well as seizure of the products and property. In addition, vehicles for transporting or equipment for processing the products, such as sawmills or factories, have been subject to forfeiture under the Lacey Act.
