Experienced attorney, compliance professional, and business strategist with a focus on all things that live at the intersection of law and cannabis. My position as the leader of the International Cannabis Bar Association allows me to see the complex legal landscape of the cannabis industry emerge in real time at the local, state, federal, and international level. My background in complex financial regulation gave me the tools to understand and unwind complex regulatory structures and my deep curiosity around emerging markets drives me to explore and understand the unique rules, opportunities, players, and iterations of the developing cannabis industry. This industry requires competent legal practice in every area of law - from real estate to finance, IP to securities, business formation to tax, and every area in between. INCBA members look to me, most of whom are already experts in their own legal practice areas, for what they need to serve cannabis-industry clients. I design each of our programs to do just that - take sophisticated lawyers from traditional industries and imbue them with the knowledge and tools to serve their clients in this unique and highly regulated segment. Growing INCBA has been an absolute pleasure - not only because it has allowed me to build an incredible network of the most sophisticated legal practitioners serving the cannabis industry, but because it has given me a scope of knowledge and a deep understanding of the industry that would not have been available through any other avenue.
