Yes — our firm offers deep regulatory and licensing expertise for cannabis and natural medicine (psychedelics) businesses, including applications, compliance, real estate and zoning, and representation at local and state hearings. We handle compliant contracts, release forms, and strategy for successful and compliant operations.

All day, every day! We guide clients through state and local cannabis licensing applications, findings of suitability, changes of location, changes of ownership, regulatory compliance, and defense against license challenges or administrative actions. Cannabis licensing is highly regulated and often interconnected with local land use rules, ownership structure, and long-term business planning. Our role is to help clients understand those moving parts and avoid missteps that can delay or derail licensure. Our cannabis licensing work commonly includes: Advising on Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) licensing requirements Guiding clients through local jurisdiction approvals, including zoning and use restrictions Coordinating licensing timelines with real estate and financing deadlines Structuring ownership to meet client goals Preparing and reviewing operating agreements, management agreements, and ownership changes Advising on compliance considerations tied to investors, spouses, trusts, and estate plans Reviewing and negotiating cannabis-compliant commercial leases or purchases (for landlords and tenants) Advising on zoning, buffer requirements, and local land use approvals Assisting with license transfers, sales, and changes of ownership Supporting business expansions, relocations, or restructurings Advising on compliance during mergers, acquisitions, or succession planning Because cannabis licensing is rarely just a form-filing exercise, we approach it as part of a broader business and real estate strategy — helping clients plan not only how to get licensed, but how to operate, grow, and eventually exit successfully.

Absolutely — including lease drafting, negotiation, purchase contracts, zoning & land use, tailored to the unique requirements of regulated businesses.

Business law focuses on contracts, entity structuring, transactions, and governance. Regulatory compliance ensures your business adheres to complex laws and rules — especially in industries like cannabis, liquor, and psychedelics — and defends against licensing challenges or administrative actions.
