We provide tailored guidance on selecting your commercial site based on factors including but not limited to accessibility, nearby competitors, and the area’s labor force. We conduct due diligence to assess the potential risks associated with all your potential locations.

We advise on complex transactions between your business and potential landlords, who may be wary of leasing to you since cannabis is federally illegal.
