About

Provided by Fox Rothschild

Fox Rothschild's national team of skilled and experienced attorneys assists cannabis businesses at every step. Companies in this exciting, emerging industry face unique issues – especially while the consumption of marijuana remains prohibited at the federal level – and therefore require smart, strategic advisers.

We have experience working for highly regulated businesses, serving as both in-house and outside counsel while also performing vital corporate and financing work, including banking, entity formation and venture capital.

We also are familiar with navigating the constantly evolving matrix of state compliance regulations, having helped draft some of the legalization legislation. Cannabis growers, distributors, processors, investors and others also turn to Fox for practical and efficient advice on tax issues, real estate, intellectual property and employment law.

Our team includes:

  • Litigation attorneys with vast experience advising and representing highly regulated businesses within the constantly evolving matrix of federal, state and local compliance laws.
  • Dedicated Labor & Employment attorneys who have a sophisticated understanding of these unique issues.
  • Lawyers with extensive experience drafting, tracking and navigating constantly evolving matrix of state and federal regulations related to hemp and cannabis.
  • Corporate attorneys well-versed in mergers and acquisitions, as well as structuring financing for startups, investors and emerging companies.
