We provide legal assistance for all aspects of your cannabis business, from Outside General Counsel to formation, Operating Agreement, Corporate Documentation, Compliance, Contract drafting and negotiations, Real Estate, contract disputes, litigation, and more! Contract Disputes often involve licensing issues, ownership disputes, management agreements, and regulatory compliance concerns that require both litigation experience and industry knowledge.

Construction Industry

Construction disputes frequently involve contract interpretation, change orders, payment claims, mechanic's liens, delays, defective work allegations, and insurance-related issues. Effective representation requires understanding both the legal and operational realities of construction projects.
