The global cannabis market has grown tremendously over the last decade and is a complex but ever-evolving area of law, regulation and policy which requires experienced advisors/lawyers to navigate this complex area of the cannabis industry.
• You will understand the key provisions of the legislation and be able to assist and advise clients who may be processors, handlers, transporters, lenders, investors and other clients of the cannabis industry who seek advice from lawyers in Cyprus.
• You will explore industry legislation, common regulatory dilemmas, the process of securing state and local licenses, and additional compliance-related content.
• You will take advantage of the many opportunities, learn what works and what doesn’t, and avoid costly missteps in this burgeoning and evolving area of business and practice.
• This seminar is practical and is taught by highly experienced lawyers and experts in cannabis law.
