Growers, processors, caregivers, transporters, lenders, investors, and other cannabis-industry clients seek counsel from our attorneys on issues familiar to companies in any sector. We help clients of all sizes by advocating before governmental agencies, compelling regulatory advancements, and providing institutional knowledge to clients at each step of the regulatory process. In the growing hemp industry, Clark Hill attorneys counsel clients on continuously evolving laws, regulations, and policies. From start-ups to multi-state operators, and from clinical registrants to retail operators, Clark Hill’s approach to obtaining licenses integrates all four cannabis enterprise stages: formation, application, operation, and exit. In many jurisdictions, our cannabis attorneys have won and helped fortify cultivation, processor, and dispensary medical and recreational marijuana licenses. In this advocacy, we have helped draft numerous state statutes, ordinances, ballot measures, referenda, in addition to litigating election law disputes. We have advocated for industry groups, trade associations, and other clients on a broad range of legislative initiatives and regulatory policy matters.
