Dentons, the world’s largest global law firm, announces the launch of our new Kentucky Cannabis Law Blog. As part of our commitment to supporting businesses that are impacted by the emerging medical marijuana legislation, this blog aims to make cannabis law resources more accessible to businesses, media outlets and other stakeholders who follow the complex area of cannabis legislation. 

Few industries in the world present more complex legal issues than cannabis. The interplay between state and federal law impacts many aspects of a medical cannabis business, from corporate structuring and access to capital, to tax treatment and site selection. Our firm advises Kentucky cannabis clients on state licensure applications, local land use and license approvals, regulatory compliance, lending transactions, securities offerings and other corporate transactions, as well as real estate, litigation, employment and other legal matters.  While these matters generally apply to many businesses, Dentons’ deep cannabis experience allows us to manage the unique issues that arise in the context of the cannabis industry.

The Dentons Cannabis team has unrivaled global reach to support clients in the emerging Kentucky cannabis industry. Our global team includes 100+ cannabis lawyers who are subject-matter experts on federal and state laws and regulations that impact cannabis businesses. Our US cannabis team has been recognized as a leading law firm by several legal ranking publications, including being named Cannabis Group of the Year by Law 360 and earning recognition in Chambers USA and The Legal 500. In Kentucky, our team includes nine lawyers practicing from the firm’s Lexington and Louisville offices. 

Our blog will feature timely articles summarizing today's most pressing issues and developments, providing valuable insights and key takeaways for cannabis businesses.

The Kentucky Cannabis Law Blog reflects Dentons’ dedication to delivering practical and insightful legal counsel. By breaking down intricate legal matters into easily understandable content, we aim to empower businesses to make informed decisions that align with their strategic objectives.
