Cannabis Litigation: How To Solve Cannabis Disputes

Cannabis has become a powerhouse industry. According to Business Insider, the cannabis industry posted $52 billion in sales.

As long as states continue to pass marijuana initiatives, the industry will continue to grow. Ten states made recreational marijuana legal and thirty three made medicinal marijuana legal. This quick growth means job creation will increase, but it also means that legal issues may also increase.

The laws regulating the cannabis industry are quickly changing and evolving. That’s why on top of needing an experienced business litigation attorney, having one familiar with the cannabis industry in particular is so important.

Some of the the most common issues cannabis business owners encounter include:

• Breaches of contract
• Corporate disputes
• Business license problems
• Land use disputes
• Intellectual property claims
• Real property disputes
• Administrative disputes
• Partnership disputes
• Shareholder disputes
• Regulation issues
• Employment disputes
• Lender litigation

Any of these issues could lead to arbitration, mediation, or litigation. Whether you need legal assistance with advocating an issue in mediation or arbitration or you need an aggressive litigator to fight for you in court, having a commercial litigation attorney familiar with the cannabis industry in your state can be invaluable.

Depending on your needs and the state you’re doing business in, a experienced cannabis attorney can help resolve an employment dispute or they can negotiate a business dissolution between angry partners.
