The majority of states have implemented medical cannabis programs and there is a growing number of states with adult use cannabis markets. Because the production, sale, and consumption of cannabis remains prohibited by federal law, cannabis businesses face unique challenges.

Cooper Levenson attorneys bring extensive experience in guiding clients through a variety of matters encountered by cannabis and cannabis related businesses. Using our deep understanding of current and pending regulations, we provide first-class legal services and are a trusted advisor and partner to our clients.

Firm attorneys were at the forefront of cannabis legalization in Nevada and have represented a number of cannabis businesses throughout the State. Firm attorneys also represent current and prospective alternative treatment centers and adult use cannabis licensees in New Jersey, as well as businesses that are ancillary to the cannabis industry. Our work with these entities includes regulatory guidance and compliance, corporate organization and licensure, real estate, zoning, and other commercial advice.

As trusted counsel to a number of New Jersey municipalities, we also provide advice on cannabis ordinance adoption and local license endorsement procedures.
