Frequently Asked Questions for Our California Cannabis & Hemp Dispute Resolution Attorneys

Can I Legally Pursue a Cannabis Business Partner for Restricting Access to Company Records?

By law, California cannabis business partners and shareholders have the right to inspect the company’s bylaws, accounting books, records, minutes, and financial statements. Restricting access to company records often results in partnership and shareholder disputes that can typically be resolved during mediation.

Should I Partner with a Cannabis Lawyer If I Am Being Audited by the Department of Cannabis Control?

All cannabis and hemp licensees and applicants are subject to random inspection, investigation, or audit of their licensed premises and records by the California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC). These audits are conducted to determine compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

If you have been notified of an impending audit, be sure to contact our experienced attorneys right away to ensure your rights are protected from the start of their investigation. Retaining a knowledgeable attorney will allow you to understand the impetus for the audit and will provide the legal knowledge and resources you need to respond appropriately.
