How We Can Help

Industry Insights

The most common fact pattern we come across is a Social Equity Participant who partnered with an MSO, and hocus pocus, the license was yours, but now it’s theirs. While this is unfortunate, it doesn’t have to be reality. We have a team of lawyers and industry experts that will fight for your rights and make sure that you aren’t taken advantage of.

Operational Support and Interim Management

It’s okay to admit that you don’t know what you are doing. Success takes hard work, impeccable timing, and a little bit of luck. The key to maintaining a successful business is addressing issues from the jump. Let us connect you with resources and know-how to ensure that your business is built to succeed.

Strategic Development

Standing up a cannabis business could be the most daunting task of your lifetime, or it could be a business you pass along to your grandchildren. Having a market strategy is essential, and finding the capital to execute your strategy is key. We have access to capital and product, to get you up and running in the shortest amount of time.
