OUR VISION
We believe that cannabis business opportunities should be accessible to everyone. We work with the movers and shakers in cannabis policy, regulation, science, healthcare and intellectual property. We have experience planning, preparing and winning competitive cannabis business licenses in restricted markets throughout the country. We work with brands, operators, investors and start-ups.
The cannabis industry is really the compliance industry.
We'll help you get it right the first time.

Cannabis businesses face legal decisions at every stage: choosing a location, structuring a partnership, negotiating an agreement or resolving a dispute. Weedlaw works with founders, operators and investors across plant-touching and ancillary businesses to clarify the issues and plan practical next steps.

Founder of WeedLaw
I'm a New York and New Jersey licensed business and litigation attorney assisting clients with transactions, start ups, contracts, dispute resolution and virtually all areas of the cannabis industry, including securing competitive business licenses.
Since 2010 I have represented clients involved in complex lawsuits, transactions, business partnerships and acquisitions.
I solve challenging problems and manage complex projects independently or as part of teams with other c-level executives, attorneys and/or other subject matter experts.
I have been an executive, director, officer and co-founder of several cannabis companies over the years, including in New Jersey in 2014 and in New York in 2015.
