Doing Business with a Bud

5/6/2016
1:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Because of inconsistencies among state laws, and tension between state and federal laws, significant uncertainty exists for anyone who does business in or around the marijuana industry. Sound complicated? It can be. Could a plumber who does work for a marijuana grower be considered a RICO co-conspirator? Might a landlord who rents to a marijuana dispensary have his property seized? This program examines the myriad legal uncertainties related to the business of marijuana, including issues that arise under employment, criminal, and banking law, just to name a few. Whether a lawyer represents clients directly in the marijuana business (growers, dispensaries), or someone who might do business with someone in the marijuana business (plumbers, landlords, banks), this course presents an overview of the law in a variety of business-related areas.

Speakers: Jeffrey Stec, Dan Riffle, Lance Rogers

Course Content:

   

Risk Reward—Representing a Marijuana Business
This section covers the nuts-and-bolts involved with the daily counseling of a marijuana business. The presenters will discuss two foundational issues: the ethics of representing a marijuana business, and the federal government’s current enforcement policy. Next, the presenters will examine the risks lawyers must consider in counseling clients with regard to: business structure, intellectual property, tax deductions, banking services, and insurance concerns.

   

Don’t Touch the Plant—Representing Entities that Serve Marijuana Businesses
In this section, the presenters will examine the fallacy of “don’t touch the plant” and the risks lawyers must consider when advising clients who come into contact with or do business with a marijuana business. Some of these risks include: criminal and RICO liability; leasing, banking services, contracting for services provided to marijuana businesses, insurance, and employment issues.
