After leading, building, designing, and developing Clark Hill's new Denver Office (and serving as the Member-in-Charge of said office for almost three years), and leading, building, structuring, and developing Clark Hill's Cannabis Industry Group to international prominence (https://www.clarkhill.com/news-events/news/clark-hill-receives-first-cannabis-law-firm-of-the-year-emjay-international-cannabis-award/; and https://www.clarkhill.com/news-events/news/clark-hills-cannabis-team-racks-up-recognitions/), I resigned as a Member/Partner of the firm in order to pursue more diverse opportunities. However, I will continue to serve the firm as a Special Advisor to the Cannabis Industry Group.

For over 12 years, the Hoban Law Group served as the leading full-service 'cannabusiness' law firm in the United States and abroad. On July 1, 2021, I 'combined' the Hoban Law Group with 130+ year old AmLaw Firm, Clark Hill; this is the natural evolution of the pioneering cannabis-centric law group that I founded in 2008. And I serve as the Co-Chair of its leading national/international Cannabis Industry Group, as well as the Member-in-Charge of Clark Hill's Denver office. Now, the core Hoban Law Group team serves as a cornerstone of the Clark Hill Cannabis Industry Group, bringing Clark Hill unparalleled industry expertise and legal experience in the cannabis (hemp and marijuana) space.

The cannabis industry and its participants have been caught up in a seemingly endless hunt for capital sources, but vital capital cannot properly flow into the industry without mature and systematic risk indicators to properly manage current exposure and future liability.Despite solid efforts to reduce cash burn, increase sales, and lower the cost of goods sold, cannabis companies still require significant amounts of financing to complete build outs and strategic acquisitions.With the tightening of the cannabis capital markets and the corresponding movement toward primarily debt financing, the role of credit scoring, rating, and monitoring have become increasingly important; and will likely be part of the baseline requirements of reputable lenders and investors.CTrust was born of the union of minds and organizations representing decades of experience and trusted expertise across three critical areas required to effectively address today’s cannabis capital market challenges:Cannabis Financial Restructuring & ReceivershipsCannabis Laws & RegulationsCannabis Data & Analytics

Hoban Law Group was the nation's very first first full service commercial international cannabis industry (hemp and marijuana) law firm.

I served as interim CEO at Olistica and assisted with its international expansion and strategic M&A efforts in global API-grade cannabinoid supply chain development.

Denver, Colorado, Us

I served as Chairman of the Board for the first post-Farm Bill U.S.-based certified hemp seed company, and assisted in developing its global supply chain initiatives (capital/financial services/fund>farming/processing advisory>e-commerce>trading) and architected its global hemp seed licensing program to/from various international governments.

I had served in an interim or 'term' chief executive (CEO) capacity for various companies operating in the cannabis (hemp and/or marijuana) industry from 2013-2019. These companies range from $5M -$200M in annual revenues. I typically served as a 'term' CEO with very specific initiatives and objectives - the terms ranged from 4-10 months each and were each based on achieving specific objectives (i.e., assembling C-Suite; advisory board assembly; implementation of systems, policies, and systematic structuring; genetic selection, procurement, and integration; farming training/implementation; processing facility buildout, implementation, and oversight; national/international positioning; certification oversight and execution; international site selection, licensure, and scaling; merger and acquisition (M&A) plan assembly and execution; supply chain buildout; assembling business development/sales teams; implementation of distribution system/program; and/or turnkey company buildout).

I served as an instructor at the University of Denver, in the Law and Society Program, where I regularly lectured regarding government regulations, public policy advocacy, and various research-based policy courses; I served as one of the first commercial industry cannabis policy instructors in the United States. Because of this experience, I have worked closely with over thirty (30) international governments in developing cannabis legislation and/or regulatory policy. Through D.U., I taught an international travel course in Uruguay concerning that country's landmark cannabis regulatory framework. Further, during my time at D.U., I assisted the University College of Professional and Continuing Studies at D.U. in developing medical marijuana and related regulatory courses in its Healthcare Leadership graduate program. I have instructed several multi-student research practicums concerning the legal, policy, and regulatory framework surrounding the rebirth of industrial hemp in the United States.
