Barak Cohen was mentioned in an American Lawyer* feature article, "Cannabis Has Big Law Seeing Green, but the Am Law 50 Are Skipping the Party," looking at how large law firms are expanding their cannabis practices amid rapid growth of the multibillion-dollar industry.

“Some attorneys, like Barak Cohen, a partner at Perkins Coie, urge clients to stay away from cash completely.

The client, a payment processing company, wanted to know what its exposure would be if it started working with a company in the cannabis industry.”
