Licensing & Regulatory Assistance

Starting a cannabis business requires navigating a complex web of state and local regulations.

Our attorneys guide clients throughout the entire licensing process. We can assist with:

• Cannabis License Applications. We lead our clients step by step, from initial eligibility assessments to application submission, providing strategic advice on positioning your business for approval.
• Regulatory Compliance Planning. Our attorneys develop internal compliance programs that cover recordkeeping, inventory management, and reporting requirements, so your business can operate confidently without risk of fines or license revocation.
• Retroactive Compliance & Corrective Measures. If your business is already operating, we review past practices and help implement corrective steps to reduce regulatory exposure and demonstrate proactive governance.

We ensure that you understand how state regulations interact with municipal rules, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Corporate & Transactional Support

The structure and agreements behind a cannabis business can determine its long-term success.

We help owners, investors, and operators navigate:

• Business Formation & Structuring. Choosing the right entity type, ownership allocation, and governance model for your operation. This ensures flexibility for growth and clear legal boundaries for partners.
• Mergers, Acquisitions & Partnerships. Whether buying, selling, or merging operations, we conduct thorough due diligence, structure transactions, and negotiate contracts to protect your investment.
• Negotiating Cannabis Deals. From vendor contracts to supply agreements, we craft terms that secure your interests while maintaining operational efficiency.
• Corporate Governance & Policies. We help businesses implement governance practices that meet regulatory expectations and maintain investor confidence.

This approach not only protects your business today but also positions it for sustainable growth in an unpredictable market.

Real Estate & Operational Guidance

Finding the right facility is often one of the most challenging aspects of launching or expanding a cannabis operation. We provide:

• Commercial Leases & Real Estate Transactions: Guidance on securing compliant locations, negotiating favorable lease terms, and minimizing potential conflicts with landlords or municipalities.
• Zoning & Local Ordinance Compliance: Ensuring your operations meet municipal restrictions and licensing requirements.
• Facility Operations & Licensing Integration: Coordinating your physical operations with regulatory expectations so your license, property, and day-to-day business are fully aligned.

We make sure every operational decision—location, layout, or workflow—supports both compliance and business efficiency.

Civil & Commercial Dispute Support

Even well-run cannabis businesses encounter disputes. We represent companies and investors in:

• Contractual Conflicts: Resolving disagreements with partners, suppliers, or service providers while protecting your rights and relationships.
• Lease or Property Disputes: Handling conflicts with landlords or municipalities that threaten operations or licensing.
• Operational & Regulatory Challenges: Addressing disagreements or enforcement actions with regulatory authorities in a proactive, solution-oriented way.

Our goal is to help you resolve disputes efficiently while keeping your business running smoothly.
