Cannabis Law

About

Provided by Torys LLP

Our work in the medical cannabis industry began 15 years ago, and we have supported clients through the industry’s evolution and helped map uncharted territory. This experience means we  understand the regulation and the business as a whole, from compliance, production and IP advice, to financing, M&A and corporate governance. As the market matures, our multifaced advice guides clients on all issues concerning their interests in the sector. 

We regularly advise companies across the cannabis supply chain, including licensed producers, researchers and developers, investors, investment banks, financial institutions and blue-chip companies. As the only Canadian law firm with a fully-integrated Canada/U.S. cannabis group, we also give clients in the sector cohesive cross-border counsel.

Among our clients are many of the most influential companies in the sector. We are sought after for our strategic and actionable advice on corporate finance, M&A, joint ventures, intellectual property, all aspects of regulation including recreational products, medical use products, medibles, edibles (food and drink production), distribution and sale, plants and plant varieties, fertilizers and pesticides, and land acquisitions and distributions.

Torys provides cannabis-related advice solely for clients whose activities are lawful in the jurisdictions in which they operate.
