• Deeply Rooted In Cannabis Law •
Whatever stage or state of business you are in, the legal issues can be confusing and complex. Cannabis laws and policy vary widely and are constantly in flux – not just in each state, but in each city and county. Licensing, regulations, compliance, employment, financing, cash management – it can be overwhelming.
7 Point partner, Anne van Leynseele, is a leading authority in the practice of cannabis law and a frequent speaker at conferences throughout the country. Her years spent in Washington DC as a health care policy attorney give her in-depth regulatory experience. With an International Executive MBA, she brings valuable business insight to 7 Point clients.
• Investors Be Wary And Wise •
Investment in cannabis-related business is the new gold rush for modern times. But with the uncertain legal landscape and a “cannabis-unfriendly” U.S. Attorney General, investors and those trying to raise capital must be cautious.
Research and due diligence are critical in this unknown environment. Key issues to consider include compliance with licensing and regulations, control of cash flow, and company leadership – factors that can add up to boom or doom. Wise legal counsel is highly recommended.
