Cooley advised Sentera, a leading provider of remote imagery solutions for agriculture, on its acquisition by John Deere. Sentera’s industry-leading cameras are compatible with most major drone platforms, enabling farmers and crop scouts to quickly and efficiently capture high-resolution data at scale.
