Law360 – ‘Duane Morris Partners With Cannabis Trade Association’
Law360 — Duane Morris LLP announced a partnership with the American Trade Association for Cannabis & Hemp on Thursday in what the parties are touting as the first ever partnership between a major law firm and trade organization for the drug.
The alliance between the Philadelphia-based BigLaw firm and the cannabis industry trade organization comes as some form of legalization of the federally illicit drug has arrived in virtually every corner of the country, entangling industry players in a host of intricate regulation.
“Bringing Duane Morris into the fold of the American Trade Association for Cannabis & Hemp as our national law firm partner is a complete game changer for the entire cannabis industry and our members,” ATACH President Michael Bronstein said in a statement. “Over the last few years, Duane Morris’ lawyers have demonstrated they are uniquely qualified to provide a full range of legal services to the cannabis industry, having advised big-time market movers, ancillary businesses and startups alike throughout the U.S. and abroad.”
