How Our Cannabis Lawyers Support Clients
It’s important to understand that a cannabis lawyer is, first and foremost, a business attorney. To be effective, they should be familiar with all the legal and regulatory issues involved in running, buying, selling, or merging an enterprise. That means attentive due diligence to contracts and other documents. It means good negotiating skills and, if necessary, the ability to litigate effectively. It means knowledge of licensing, relevant environmental and labor laws, and much more. The foundation of a successful cannabis attorney is simply being a good business lawyer, regardless of whether the client’s product is widgets or weed.

Navigating Legal Challenges in the Cannabis Industry
Legalizing cannabis in many parts of the country has created unique legal challenges for the cannabis industry. Lawyers who work with cannabis clients must be current on local and federal statutes to ensure their client complies with all relevant laws and regulations. Additionally, due to the still controversial status of cannabis within general public opinion, lawyers must not only be prepared to represent their clients in various circumstances but with a mind towards how public perception will impact their situation.
Some challenges cannabis business owners may face include the following:
- More intensive regulation: Not only are cannabis business regulations often more intensive than those a typical business would face, but the political climate in different regions can vary. In some areas, regulators will keep an even more careful eye on the cannabis industry. A company's missteps are more likely to be noticed, and the consequences are more likely to be serious. The cannabis lawyer must be right on top of all compliance matters.
- The myriad of business relationships: While having a wide range of business relationships—from manufacturing to distribution to marketing isn't necessarily unique to cannabis, the regulatory and licensing intensity just noted has ripple effects here. A business must be sure its vendors are also in compliance. Finding out is the cannabis attorney's job.
- The startup phase: The company placed on a firm legal foundation usually has the best chance of success. The cannabis lawyer is important in making that happen, from involvement in the financing to copyrights and trademarks to overseeing the packaging and labeling of the product.
