From Boutiques to Big Law -
Navigating the changing legal landscape of the cannabis industry
The cannabis industry saw a significant shift in 2020.
New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and Montana became the newest states to legalize recreational cannabis use during the US elections. Mexico moved forward with legislation for what is being called "the world's largest legal cannabis market", and a United Nations commission voted to remove cannabis from the world’s most dangerous drugs category.
With projections of $35 billion by 2024 for the U.S. market, and upwards of $100 billion worldwide - the cannabis industry is seeing undeniable rapid acceptance and growth.
However, complex legal, regulatory, financial, ethical, and stigma challenges still remain for law firms and the clients they serve.
Featuring a diverse range of perspectives from boutiques to big law, in-house counsel, and subject matter experts from across the cannabis supply chain, the Cannalaw Summit will bring together the legal cannabis marketplace to provide critical insight into current and future laws and regulations, address key individual cannabis practice challenges, and examine core considerations for firms looking to start, or strategically grow their cannabis practices.
Join your peers online May 4th-6th for the Cannalaw Summit.
Join your peers at the Cannalaw Summit for 3 days of discussion, debate, and examination of the most critical challenges that cannabis practices/firms and their clients face
Get insight, analysis, and perspectives from across the legal profession and the cannabis supply chain on topics ranging from legalization to collaboration, M&A to psychedelics, holistic client service to multi-state operations, and much more...
