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. We offer flexible and creative solutions to help achieve our clients’ individual goals, and drive success for the cannabis industry as a whole. 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.  For many of our clients, the legal and regulatory requirements of cannabis business ownership are their least favorite parts of the job.  We understand, and we work alongside company leadership to create the smoothest path to success.

Helping Cannabis Businesses Navigate a Complex Legal Landscape

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. We take a creative and proactive approach to the practice of law, enabling our clients to take advantage of the emerging legal developments and industry trends.

Cannabis businesses face unique challenges and opportunities in this fast-paced, highly regulated industry. 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. What’s more, having had a dedicated cannabis practice 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.
