Industry
Cannabis
Our Cannabis Law Practice Group is dedicated to providing our clients with a comprehensive understanding of the laws and regulations surrounding the cannabis industry.
Our attorneys have experience working with highly regulated businesses to guide them through the continuously developing grid of state and federal regulations. Our innovative thinking and collaborative approach allows our attorneys to provide counsel to governing bodies, cannabis entrepreneurs, hemp producers, and any auxiliary businesses on issues involving intellectual property, employment law, land use, zoning and municipal law, healthcare law, licensing, and regulatory compliance. We are a full-service firm and provide guidance from the beginning of a cannabis venture, throughout the licensing process, day-to-day operations and beyond.
The cannabis industry continues to expand rapidly showing no signs of slowing down as more states legalize marijuana and hemp production increases. With the growing number of states allowing medical or recreational cannabis, this emerging market is expected to grow its revenue from $8.5 billion in 2017 to $31.8 billion in 2023. We recognize the complex and sometimes conflicting relationship between federal and state laws in the cannabis industry and serve as strategic business partners to provide our clients with informed guidance in compliance with legislation. Our experienced attorneys effectively navigate the nuanced landscape of the cannabis industry, with a commitment to our clients’ success at the forefront.
