Cannabis

We help clients navigate the ever-changing legal landscape in the cannabis space, given the divergent status of the industry at the state and federal levels. We have experience managing those treacherous waters, and we counsel our clients on how to comply with the laws, not just obey them.

The breadth of experience afforded by the Firm’s 21 practice areas bolsters our ability to counsel clients in the CBD, hemp and medical/recreational marijuana industries across a full spectrum of legal issues.

Compliance
We advise cosmetics companies, food and dietary supplement manufacturers on the legal use of CBD as an ingredient. Our representation includes counseling businesses on how to comply with FDA and FTC regulations, as well as state laws.

Corporate
We develop operating agreements and exit strategies as well as corporate formation. We advise clients on how to maintain corporate compliance, including requirements for corporate structures and drafting resolutions.

Insurance Fraud
We have experience in how the Compassionate Care Act relates to New York’s No Fault Law, and in that capacity, we draft denial language for improper insurance claims for medical marijuana and CBD.

Intellectual Property and Related Litigation
We help our clients establish and protect their intellectual property rights. After all, patents, copyrights and trademarks are valuable business assets.

Licensure
Our clients rely on us for help with obtaining medical marijuana licenses.

Private Equity
We help marijuana businesses to secure funding.

Real Estate
We draft leases for landlords and tenants for hemp farms and distribution facilities.
