Product Description

Nationally, the cannabis industry continues to experience unprecedented growth. Despite increasing numbers of states allowing some form of marijuana use, as well as widespread public approval for Federal marijuana reform, the interplay between complex state regulatory schemes and continued Federal prohibition continues, however, to pose inherent legal uncertainties.

Counsel for marijuana businesses must address unique legal issues relating to regulatory compliance, state and local licensing, financing restraints, and Federal prohibition and policy, while also addressing standard business law issues. This Conference analyzes advanced emerging topics in the cannabis industry pertinent to business law practitioners—including challenges, opportunities, and strategies encountered in licensing, permitting, compliance, financing, corporate structure, insurance, and tax considerations. Hear the latest from expert panelists who provide insight into the complex business and legal issues underlying marijuana business operations.
