Any business will have challenges throughout its lifecycle.

Disputes can arise at nearly every stage of a company’s growth. As cannabusinesses continue to grow, they need a law firm that can handle complex matters as they unfold.
In cannabis law, Government and Policy issues are complex and dynamic. There is great disparity across the municipalities and amongst state agencies in California in laws, rules, regulations and policies which all have widespread impact on cannabis businesses and operators.

Having blazed a trail in the cannabis space, Manzuri Law attorneys are able to draw on experience from the earliest days of the cannabis industry to address and mitigate crossover issues with psychedelics, from taking advantage of market opportunities associated with government-approved psychedelic drugs to advising investors on local decriminalization efforts.
Cannabis is a strictly regulated business with inherent and novel risks. From business formation and strategy to licensure and regulatory compliance, operating a cannabis business can be very complicated, especially in the face of conflicting federal, state and local legalities.
