AmLaw 50 Firm Committed to Providing Sophisticated Cannabis Counsel
About us
The cannabis industry is unique, comprised of multistate operators, craft cannabis companies, ancillary companies doing business with "plant-touching" businesses, sophisticated consumers, active investors, and advocates. Identifying and responding to legal and regulatory challenges in the industry is especially complex because of the patchwork of local and state laws, not to mention an ever-evolving federal ambivalence to the plant. In order to navigate this turbulent environment, it is critical that cannabis companies get in front of potential legal and regulatory problems by obtaining the best possible legal support. The firm's national Cannabis Law group provides comprehensive services within the industry and understands how to help companies pursue their business objectives. We advise companies that directly handle cannabis and cannabis products, clients that are considering entering the sector, and businesses that provide ancillary support to the cannabis industry. Whether the issue involves regulatory compliance, due diligence, public policy, litigation and government enforcement, intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions, or securities, the firm’s team of more than 120 cannabis attorneys has you covered. Perkins Coie is committed to keeping cannabis companies up to date by regularly publishing industry insights. Our attorneys literally wrote the book on cannabis law, authoring and editing the ABA's Cannabis Law: A Primer on Federal and State Law Regarding Marijuana, Hemp and CBD. The team's blog, Cannabis Legal Highlights, keeps those interested in the industry informed about litigation, technology, and transaction trends, and The 411 on 420 podcast showcases experts from the cannabis field on topics related to the business of cannabis and how the legal landscape affects the market. Our attorneys also are active members of the U.S. Cannabis Council and the ABA's Cannabis Law and Policy Subcommittee.

Today, the Associated Press reported that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will move marijuana to schedule III, eliminating the draconian tax burden that has stymied growth of the state-regulated industry. Perkins Coie's Cannabis industry group has been working to reclassify marijuana on behalf of an industry coalition for 18 months. DEA's proposal, which still must be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget, recognizes the medical utility of cannabis and acknowledges that it has less potential for abuse than many more dangerous drugs.
