Minimizing Legal Risks and Insurance Considerations in the Cannabis Industry

Learn how to minimize your clients risk in the cannabis industry though best practices and insurance.

The cannabis space is up and running and its exponential growth is expected to continue. The excitement and passion for the industry and the wealth it can create sometimes take precedence over careful planning for the potential legal and business issues which will arise. Taking practical steps, sooner rather than later, will protect and assist with minimizing potential losses and shifting certain future costs to your insurer. This material is critical for all companies working in the cannabis space, from the smallest start up, to the largest corporation, as it will take you through the myriad of issues the industry is facing and provide you with practical information to address those issues and to put you in a position where future claims are covered by an insurance and not taken from your bottom line.
