About
Provided by Greenspoon Marder LLP
Among the first national law firms to establish a dedicated Cannabis Practice Group, Greenspoon Marder is at the forefront of this exciting and rapidly growing industry. Our team helps cultivators, retailers, product manufacturers, distributors, and testing facilities, as well as ancillary industry businesses and investors. Our attorneys know the unique risks and challenges facing the cannabis, medical marijuana and hemp sectors, so we take the time to understand our clients’ products and business objectives. With over 25 attorneys focused on the cannabis, medical marijuana and hemp sectors and offices in key states such as California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Oregon, our Cannabis Practice advises clients from early formation through an exit. Some of our attorneys have been involved in the marijuana industry since its earliest days of legalization, and we have been through the business lifecycle with many companies across the United States. We take a holistic view of a client’s business, focusing not just on the immediate needs around tax and regulatory issues, but also on long-term strategy as it relates to corporate planning, real estate best practices, and IP needs. Since 2016, we have created and nurtured a network of marijuana industry executives, investors and advocates around the world. We take pride in carefully connecting our network in ways that make sense for the parties involved and for the industry as a whole.
