I began representing cannabis clients in 2012, following fifteen years as a commercial litigator at Cravath Swaine & Moore, Davis Wright Tremaine, Weil Gotshal, and Paduano & Weintraub. Since then, I have represented cultivators, dispensaries, manufacturers, and ancillary service companies; have drafted state licensing applications; have litigated on behalf of qualified applicants denied licenses; have spoken on panels at multiple cannabis conferences; and has guided angel investors and venture capital firms through the due diligence and compliance review preceding large capital investments
