LOS ANGELES– September 6, 2016 – Greenspoon Marder enhances its presence in the cannabis industry as the Badge Holder & Exhibitor Lounge Sponsor at the Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo in Los Angeles. The firm recognizes the growing and expanding needs of the cannabis business community and plans to open additional office locations in states that are likely to play a key role in shaping the cannabis industry.
In addition to the firm’s sponsorship, Greenspoon Marder shareholder Lance Rogers will be a featured speaker at the CWCB Expo on September 9th at 2:00 pm. The focus of his discussion will be Native Americans and Cannabis.
In 2014, the federal Department of Justice issued guidance acknowledging the ability of tribal nations to pursue marijuana development projects on tribal lands without federal interference. Since the release of the Wilkinson memo, many tribal nations have enacted regulations permitting commercial cannabis activity and some have entered into joint ventures with private non-tribal entities to pursue these business activities. Mr. Roger’s presentation will provide a general overview of various federal, state, and tribal law issues that arise with such ventures and discuss potential methods for minimizing risk in this new regulatory environment.
Along with Lance Rogers, Rachel Gillette , Joshua Goldstein, Matthew Ginder , Neal Gidvani , and Phillip Silvestri of Greenspoon Marder’s Cannabis Law practice group will be representing the firm at the CWCBE in Los Angeles.
