Cannabis Law

States require track and trace software allowing the cannabis product to be followed as it moves through the supply chain from “seed to sale.” By doing so, every party along the supply chain is at risk of being added to a product liability lawsuit, regardless of fault.

Foley Mansfield can assist in navigating each step of this process by ensuring you have the appropriate coverage in place and advising you on best practices. We’ve been at the forefront of product liability issues for decades, protecting and defending the interests of manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and premises owners since 1989.

As a rapidly growing and evolving industry – one of the country’s fastest-growing job sectors – cannabis is increasingly going “corporate” – as evidenced by heightened industry consolidation and the rise of franchising. The legal landscape is also rapidly evolving at both the state and federal levels.

Our cannabis team members stay in front of the industry – and the revolving door of regulations and court decisions. We are active in national and regional cannabis business and legal associations, closely monitoring industry and legal developments to ensure that our clients have the latest information. We have taken a leadership role in the Cannabis section of the Defense Research Institute, the premier national organization for defense attorneys, including chairing and presenting at the Institute’s national cannabis educational and informational seminar for attorneys. Additionally, our cannabis attorneys regularly present at industry conferences around the country.

We advocate for common-sense laws and regulations that will protect cannabis enterprises and consumers, as well as businesses that may be engaged even tangentially with a cannabis operation. In short, we define our success by the impact we have on our clients.
