Preparation for the implementation of these laws is paramount. Staying abreast of how Pennsylvania will implement and enforce their laws will make all the difference in the success and rollout of any cannabis-based business.
Advice and Counseling
Pennsylvania has joined over two dozen states with medicinal cannabis programs. Each state’s medicinal cannabis program is unique as medical cannabis remains illegal under federal law. Our clients have questions that range from “Can I use traditional banks” “Can I be prosecuted under federal law” and “is cannabis still illegal in Pennsylvania?” Providing accurate and timely information is critical for clients, many of whom may be new to the cannabis industry.
Commercial Litigation
Sometimes, despite your best intentions, you are going to end up in court regarding a business dispute. Attorney Andrew M. Gross has extensive business litigation experience in both state and federal court as well as before arbitration panels. Whether you need to enforce a business contract or you are seeking to dissolve a business relationship, Cannabis Legal Solutions has you covered.
Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory compliance is critical in the emerging cannabis industry in Pennsylvania and in every state with a medical or recreational cannabis program. Cannabis Legal Solutions will work with you to create a customized compliance plan that meets the specific needs of your business. CLS understands that clients may have time sensitive compliance questions. CLS will provide timely responses, generally within 24 hours, to your compliance questions.
Licensing and Permitting
The Regulatory Requirements of the medicinal cannabis industry are complex. CLS has the knowledge and experience you need when navigating the process of obtaining and maintaining a license or permit. We’ll make sure all the bases of compliance are covered before petitioning for a license or permit.
Criminal Defense
Pennsylvania’s medical cannabis law has made the cultivation, processing, sale and possession of cannabis legal. Non-medical use, however, remains prohibited. Pennsylvania’s medical cannabis industry will be under strict scrutiny to insure medical cannabis is not illegally diverted to the black market. The attorneys at Cannabis Legal Solutions are very knowledgeable in the area of cannabis prohibition and stand ready to offer practical advice whether it is an employee accused of stealing medical cannabis products or the threat of federal prosecution.
We also handle Appellate cases (Appeals) and are certified to practice in Federal court.
Business Entity Formation and Contracts
CLS founding partner Andrew Gross brings decades of experience in corporate and business law to the table. Whether it’s a small neighborhood endeavor or a major corporate project, Mr. Gross will put his extensive experience in business formation and contract law to work for you.
