What is the single most important ingredient in having a successful cannabis practice?

Having an experienced team that is knowledgeable about the business issues affecting the cannabis industry is critical to a successful cannabis practice. At Sills Cummis & Gross, we have attorneys who have a deep understanding of the applicable New Jersey state and municipal cannabis statutes and regulations, as well as the unique and everyday business needs of cannabis industry stakeholders. This includes leveraging our experience in leasing, land use, municipal approvals, corporate law, financing, banking, IP protection and employment matters, among others, to meet client needs. This overall team approach at Sills Cummis & Gross is valuable to cannabis owners, operators and investors, as well as those involved in real estate transactions in the cannabis industry.
