Wilson Elser’s Cannabis Law Practice is a trailblazing leader in the space and the only Chambers-ranked national cannabis law practice with a focus on insurance defense and coverage. 

Our early engagement with the industry in 2010 gives our Cannabis Law Practice the historical understanding and context that is so important to properly advise cannabis companies and others that operate within the cannabis sector. Wilson Elser is one of the few firms that offers full-service capabilities in cannabis law on an international scale and is large enough to have sophisticated attorneys with an appreciable amount of industry experience. We understand the nuances of cannabis law, the regulatory frameworks that need to be negotiated and the realities of the industry. 

The firm assists licensed cannabis businesses, including some of the best-known cannabis brands, with legal and risk management services critical to this fast-growing sector. We have been active in cannabis mergers and acquisitions and other corporate offerings, and we are one of the few firms with a cannabis-specific Employment & Labor team. We are leaders in hemp and CBD regulatory advice, while our practice group’s litigation team regularly handles product liability, professional liability and commercial disputes related to cannabis. Other Wilson Elser services engaged by cannabis companies include intellectual property, captives/risk retention groups, native nations and class action defense.
