Zuber Lawler

Zuber Lawler is a business law firm that says it represents clients throughout the world from locations across the US. Its cannabis page lists managing partner Tom Zuber, based in Los Angeles, as the practice contact; the site does not name a headquarters. The firm says it has represented cannabis clients for nearly 20 years. Beyond cannabis, it works on M&A, finance and other deals, intellectual property, antitrust, data privacy, FDA and anti-corruption matters, and litigation, often for companies in emerging industries such as longevity and psychedelics.

The cannabis practice handles deals, patents, trademarks, FDA compliance, regulatory compliance and litigation, and singles out areas the firm calls commonly misunderstood and underserved: patents, trademarks, FDA compliance, restructurings, bankruptcies and assignments for the benefit of creditors. It represents brands on M&A and on litigation, and emphasizes legal resources in multiple languages for clients expanding across borders. Its cannabis pages carry a federal-law disclaimer explaining that compliance with state law does not equal compliance with federal law.

Recent cannabis writing on the firm's site addresses Schedule III rescheduling, including what it may mean for adult-use operators and for FDA oversight, and the firm has published a cheat sheet on New York's proposed cannabis regulations. Zuber Lawler does not publish fees, and its site notes that no attorney-client relationship forms until a conflicts check is complete and both sides sign an engagement letter. The practice page also links law updates and event listings for cannabis clients.
