Cannabis Compliance Lawyer

Cannabis regulatory compliance goes beyond just understanding the law. You need to apply it to real products, operations and business decisions.

Speak to a cannabis compliance lawyer at Kight Law to navigate regulatory requirements and reduce risk across your business.

Our Cannabis Compliance Legal Services

Cannabis regulation is complex, with different compliance requirements at the federal and state level. Businesses must navigate both how laws are written and how they are enforced in practice.

At Kight Law, we advise businesses on key compliance issues, including:

  • Product classification: Determining whether products such as CBD oil, delta-8 THC or other hemp-derived cannabinoids meet legal definitions
  • THCA testing and COAs: Advising on lab results and Certificates of Analysis to assess whether products meet regulatory standards
  • Labelling and marketing: Reviewing product labelling, packaging, licensing and ingredient disclosure to ensure compliance
  • State-by-state compliance: Assessing how differences in state regulation affect where and how products can be sold, shipped or distributed
  • Retail and distribution: Identifying how compliance requirements apply across the supply chain, from growers and processors to distributors and dispensaries
  • Enforcement risk: Understanding how regulators interpret and apply the law in practice, and what may trigger enforcement action

Our compliance work often supports related areas such as cannabis contracts, employment and intellectual property law.

FDA Wants Your Comments on CBD

By Rod Kight | June 24, 2019
As anyone involved in the cannabis industry is aware, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held hearings on May 31, 2019.
