Cannabis is one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S., but is fraught with numerous legal and regulatory issues that are constantly evolving. This half-day program in Chicago or via live webcast on Sept. 20 offers a multidisciplinary introduction to a number of issues that can arise when representing cannabis business clients and investors, including tax, regulatory/compliance, securities, banking, real estate, and land use. 

Health care lawyers, general practitioners, and business/investment attorneys with intermediate practice experience who attend this seminar will better understand: the overall status of cannabis law in Illinois and the U.S.; the history of the Cole Memo and what it means for the cannabis industry; how the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct can impact your practice when representing cannabis clients; how employers should look at cannabis use, even when an employee has a doctor’s note; the tax considerations cannabis businesses and investors need to consider; how the legal status of cannabis affects mortgages and title transfers; the banking regulations and guidelines for the cannabis industry; fundraising for the cannabis business; and how to insure the cannabis business.

The program is presented by the ISBA Health Care Law Section and co-sponsored by the ISBA General Practice Section. It qualifies for 4.25 hours MCLE credit, including 0.50* hour Professional Responsibility MCLE credit (subject to approval).
