WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 15, 2020) – Perkins Coie has launched a new blog covering the cannabis industry, including marijuana, CBD, and hemp-related businesses, that will provide timely updates and insights on the latest regulations, as well as evolving litigation, technology, and transaction trends impacting the sector.

The blog will be overseen by Perkins Coie Partner Barak Cohen, the firmwide chair of Perkins Coie’s Cannabis industry group, and associates, Michael Bleicher and Tommy Tobin. It will feature posts by the group’s attorneys and attorneys across the firm.

As the cannabis industry continues to grow and develop amid a complex federal and state regulatory landscape—including rule-making and oversight from the FDA, DEA, DOJ, USDA, and SEC, among other government agencies—the blog will help companies and their legal departments to understand the key issues and challenges affecting the industry.
