The Intersection of Cannabis and Corporate Law: Navigating Complex Federal and State Laws

2023-07-12T02:09:49-04:00

The unceasingly evolving field of cannabis continues to bring complex regulatory challenges among businesses and legal practitioners. Although still illegal under federal law, several states and territories in the US have already legalized the use of cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes. In April 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act.

One integral aspect to increase the chances of winning a trial is the use of cross-examination.

Major Reforms in R&D Tax Credits 2023: Exploring Opportunities for Your Firm

2023-01-27T04:25:58-05:00

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) has been beneficial for companies engaged in research and development (R&D).
