We counsel and protect financial advisers who encounter troubles with their employers, such as broker-dealers and advisory firms.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance For Cannabis Operations

Our firm shines where cannabis law intersects with securities law. We can help you remain in regulatory compliance. We can assist you in preparing proposals for financing your venture through securities that are less wary of cannabis than traditional banks.

Marijuana is still a controlled substance under federal law, exposing businesses in the cannabis or CBD industry to potential legal and financial damage despite the legality of cannabis in states such as Colorado. It is crucial to take steps to remain in compliance with all applicable laws in order to protect your businesses’ legal standing and bottom line.
