Our Business Formations & Corporate Governance practice includes all the services a blossoming cannabis business needs, including but not limited to creating and restructuring entities, ensuring that your business is adequately capitalized, protecting officers and directors, and advising about ongoing corporate governance. Our firm’s background and hands-on experience in cannabis matters allows us to go deeper than merely addressing legal formalities – our attorneys know cannabis and the unique considerations that go with it.
The first step in almost any commercial venture is the formation of a business entity to protect your personal assets. Our team is ready to advise on the most appropriate type of entity for your business as well as how to form it. To the extent that your company currently operates as a nonprofit and would like to make the transition to a for-profit venture, our office is also knowledgeable in the avenues that allow you to take advantage of the law’s new allowance of for-profit businesses.
We also proudly offer a range of corporate governance services counseling owners, members of the board of the directors, and senior executives on the range of corporate formalities and questions that cannabis companies are faced with every day, including board structure and composition, succession planning, updating bylaws and operating agreements, and annual meetings.
