Serving the mid-Atlantic since 1984,our attorneys deliver comprehensive legal advice and representation for the most challenging legal issues.
With the legalization of medicinal and recreational cannabis in various regions of the U.S., the cannabis industry has rapidly expanded to thirty-two states that allow medical cannabis use and 10 states, including the District of Columbia, that allow recreational use of cannabis by adults.
The interaction between federal and the various state laws is complex. Clients whose businesses are affected require attorneys who have a sophisticated understanding of the nuances of applicable state and federal laws, combined with a deep understanding of the economic, regulatory and operational issues that confront the emerging cannabis industry.
Carr Maloney represents clients who face these issues by: advising on federal, state and local laws, regulations and government guidance applicable to cannabis businesses (e.g. The Controlled Substances Act (CSA)), Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (also known as the 2018 Farm Bill), The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and guidance, and state-specific marijuana and hemp regulations); litigating commercial cannabis based matters; providing day-to-day advice and general business counsel; and providing labor and employment counsel, including workplace training and litigating workplace claims.
