Program Summary

Raising capital for cannabis companies remains one of the most critical and challenging aspects of operating in this rapidly evolving industry; in addition to all companies' conventional legal and business hurdles when fundraising, cannabis enterprises must navigate an intricate web of federal, state, and local regulations that can significantly impact debt and equity financing. Success in closing cannabis industry transactions requires traditional securities law expertise and a nuanced understanding of specific regulatory requirements, including limitations on ownership structure, mandatory disclosures, and complex compliance obligations. This presentation will provide practical guidance on identifying and addressing these unique challenges while implementing effective strategies for successful capital formation in the cannabis sector.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Due Diligence for Debt and Equity Raises
  • Structuring Debt Investments in The Cannabis Industry
  • Bankruptcy And Receiverships in Cannabis
  • Structuring Equity Raises in The Cannabis Industry
  • Special Considerations for Social Equity Licenses
  • Intoxicating Hemp Transactions and How They Differ from Cannabis Raises
