Fowler White Burnett is pleased to announce that Shareholder John H. Friedhoff has been re-elected to serve as Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Zamorano University-Panamerican School of Agriculture in Honduras for 2016-17.  This marks his 4th consecutive term as Secretary of the Board of Trustees since first being elected in 2013.  In addition, Friedhoff serves on the University’s Nominating Committee, heads the Legal Committee and has served as a Trustee of the University since 2010. 

Friedhoff, a Florida Bar Board Certified Specialist in International Law currently serves as Vice President of the Central-American Chamber of Commerce and is the Past President of the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce.

Friedhoff focuses his International practice on a broad range of matters, including drafting international contracts for U.S. outbound investors, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, distribution of products and services abroad, foreign agency agreements, registration and licensing of intellectual property. He has in-depth experience with foreign investment matters, including transfer pricing issues, registration of foreign capital and loans, and the establishment of offshore banks, corporations, trusts and mutual funds. A significant portion of his practice involves the counseling and licensing of wire remittance businesses and the representation of lenders in Export Credit Agency transactions.

In addition, Friedhoff represents foreign investors in the establishment of companies in the U.S., and assists foreign individuals with estate and income tax planning, and immigration concerns.

Zamorano University offers four undergraduate degrees in Agricultural Engineering: Agronomy; Agribusiness Management; Food Agroindustry; and Environment and Development.  Friedhoff notes the school is in reality a paradigm of Pan Americanism with students enrolling from the Caribbean, Central American and South America and that its actual name (Panamerican Agricultural School) is true to its name.

The four-year educational program emphasizes academic excellence and character formation, and it complements theory with practical field experience through its Learning by Doing program, in which the students work half a day in the production and processing plants or conserving the natural resources that are part of the university campus.
