Types of Marijuana Litigation Matters

Under the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, the recreational use of marijuana is legal in the State of California.  Licensing and regulation of cannabis businesses are guided by the Medical and Adult Use of Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA).  MAUCRSA is also the principal source of marijuana-related litigation, given that it governs distribution rights, licensing restrictions, and other regulations.

The seasoned marijuana litigation attorneys at McReynolds Vardanyan represent cannabis enterprises facing all manner of litigation, including the following:

  • Intellectual property disputes
  • Disagreements among owners and partners, including the proper owner of record
  • Audits and investigations by administrative entities
  • Conflicts arising over the purchase, sale, or merger of another entity
  • Contract disputes between distributors and suppliers
  • Purchase and sale of a cannabis dispensary
  • Issues involving vendors and contractors
  • Disputes involving dispensary sales, profits, taxes, or losses
  • Challenges by partial owners, shareholders, joint venture entities, and other financial interest holders
  • Employment disputes, such as wage and hour, wrongful termination, or contract disputes
  • Litigation with lenders and other creditors
