Cannabis Litigation
Analyzing and litigating disputes effectively in a highly regulated industry requires someone who both knows the cannabis industry and specializes in high-stakes litigation.
Winning a lawsuit in the cannabis space requires more than just knowledge of cannabis law and a passing familiarity with litigation.
You need trial counsel who not only understand the intricate laws and regulations governing cannabis businesses, but also has a track record of successfully representing clients through jury and bench trials, arbitrations, mediations, administrative actions, and other complex legal proceedings. You need lawyers who will listen to you, learn the details of your business and the dispute at issue, refine your objectives, and successfully implement a litigation strategy designed to achieve the best possible outcome for your business.
In short, we are those lawyers.
