Greenspoon Marder (Cannabis Practice)

Greenspoon Marder LLP is a national business law firm whose Fort Lauderdale office, with more than 50 attorneys, the firm says anchors its national platform; other offices include Atlanta, Boca Raton, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. Its Cannabis Law practice has operated since 2016, and the firm says it was among the first national firms to establish a dedicated cannabis group. The practice page lists Irina Dashevsky and Nick Richards, both partners, as co-chairs of the Cannabis Law Group.

More than 25 attorneys focus on the cannabis, medical marijuana and hemp sectors, with offices in states including California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Oregon. Clients include cultivators, retailers, product manufacturers, distributors, testing facilities, ancillary businesses and investors, and the group advises from formation through exit on regulatory and tax issues, corporate planning, real estate and intellectual property. The firm's intellectual property, tax, and hospitality and alcohol groups work alongside it.

The group publishes regular updates, including its Cannabis Quick Hits video series and analysis of federal rescheduling, DEA registration deadlines, hemp-related rules for financial institutions, and state markets such as Minnesota. A recent post covers the September 29, 2026 stay of the federal rescheduling hearing. Greenspoon Marder does not publish fees; prospective clients contact the co-chairs through the practice page, which also lists lead attorneys from the firm's intellectual property and immigration groups.
