Description

In 2016, the IBA Annual Conference included one of the first panel discussions about the legal issues arising from what was then the beginning of a change in US law on the legalisation of marijuana. Six years later, this budding industry has become a literal “growth” practice, with law firms embracing this as a new practice area, and a wide variety of legal issues to be addressed. Our expert panel will discuss how changes in the law in the US and other countries are impacting the legal landscape, and how law firms are navigating the ethical boundaries.
