A Boston-based cannabis technology platform announced this week it has tapped a former Morrison & Foerster attorney to be its first general counsel.
Marshall Horowitz began working as the top lawyer to TILT Holdings Inc. in July, according to a spokesperson. The spokesperson said Horowitz is based in Los Angeles.
"With my global experience in law, I am happy to contribute to business strategy by serving as lead counsel to the company on acquisitions, developments, corporate governance, and legal decisions," Horowitz said in the press release. "I plan to continue pushing TILT to the top of its class by being the primary source of legal advice for the company and its subsidiaries."
Horowitz was not available for additional comment Wednesday.
He most recently served in an of counsel role at Morrison & Foerster in Singapore, according to his LinkedIn profile. He has also served as a partner at Snell & Wilmer and Alschuler Grossman Stein & Kahan. After graduating from the University of Chicago Law School he worked at Coudert Brothers.
"By bringing Marshall Horowitz on as general counsel, we now have experienced in-house counsel to assist TILT from a legal standpoint within the booming cannabis industry's multiple sectors," Mark Scatterday, the interim CEO at TILT, said in the press release.
TILT brought in Horowitz as it faces a class action lawsuit. Two Los Angeles residents filed suit in June in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. They claim TILT and Baker Technologies Inc., which offers a platform to help cannabis dispensaries build customer relationships, violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and California's Unfair Competition Law. The residents also claim the text messages they received from the companies violate those laws.
TILT Holdings is a technology platform for cannabis companies that services more than 2,000 brands and cannabis retailers throughout 33 states in the U.S. The company also operates in Canada, Israel, Mexico, South America and the European Union. TILT is listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange.
