What to Do When You Get a Cannabis Client 1 Credit
Select your learning mode
As cannabis continues to make its way into the mainstream marketplace, state governments are increasingly legalizing and regulating it for medical or recreational use. The legal cannabis, or marijuana, marketplace represents a projected $21.7 billion industry in 2021, according to cannabis data analytics firm BDSA.
Despite its significant size, the industry poses many challenges. Most businesses are subject to various licensing, permit, and registration requirements. These are put in place for public safety, tax, or other reasons. Because the cannabis industry is heavily regulated, licensing for cannabis businesses is particularly complicated. Compliance requirements not only vary from state to state, but they can also change depending on your business category (cultivation vs. retail, for example) and which city or county you’re planning to operate in.
It's not a matter of "if" but "when" some client from the cannabis industry reaches out for full-service accounting, tax planning, or help with a business plan.

I take a personal interest in my clients and specialize in helping them find solutions to all of their business and individual needs. This means that my clients trust me on a wide range of legal and financial issues that affect their daily lives.
After an early career as a professional pianist, I began to do Tax Preparation for myself and my fellow musicians. This experience is one component of my ongoing practice of providing legal representation to individuals in contracts. I also saw the necessity of protecting assets through Wills, Trusts, and Estate Planning.
In addition to my tax and legal expertise, I have ten years of experience as a Special Education Teacher with NYC Teaching Fellows. Because of this, I have seen firsthand the importance of providing legal representation for those with special needs. The problems faced by these individuals are not abstract concepts to me.
I am a graduate of Brooklyn Law School with a Certificate in Intellectual Property, Media, and Information Law. While in law school, I won the Center for Urban Business Entrepreneurship (CUBE) competition for an app design to help Indie Filmmakers in developing contracts. Additionally, I won Regional Law School Mediation competition. This award alone is indicative of my ability to find solutions.
