He, also, has extensive experience in statutory trust and licensing matters under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act ("PACA"), a federal act which strictly regulates commerce in fruits and vegetables and provides special rights in Federal Court to vendors of such commodities, who follow the requirements of the PACA.

Mr. Wood is admitted in both New York and New Jersey and has also participated in Federal Court litigation in several other states including, Connecticut, Massachuset, Pennsylvania and Ohio on a pro hac vice basis.
