We have unique talent and experience in the Cannabis industry, having been integrally involved since recreational marijuana was rolled out in Colorado in January of 2014.

This experience has carried over to Florida and other states, and now includes the rapidly growing hemp industry. We understand how business transactions in this sector need to be modified to accommodate complex regulations imposed by federal, state and local government agencies. With our background in taxation, we are skilled at navigating shifting regulatory environments that can impact transactions at any stage from planning through closing (and post-closing).

We also have decades of experience working in highly regulated and taxed environments and are adept at dealing with officials who enforce Cannabis laws, including government investigations in the cannabis industry.
