Cannabis
We are pleased to have been one of the first established law firms in Washington to embrace businesses involved in the commercial production and distribution of marijuana. GTH was integrally involved with the passage of I-502 in November 2012, and we have been representing clients in the cannabis industry ever since. We have successfully guided numerous applicants through the process to obtain their producer, processor, and retailer licenses from the Washington State Liquor & Cannabis Board and have extensive experience working cooperatively with the LCB. This experience enables us to help our clients navigate the challenging industry regulations and assist them with developing compliant business strategies. Through our work, clients quickly learn to value our attorneys’ understanding of the unique business, real estate, land use, and employment law issues that marijuana businesses face on a regular basis.

Experience
When our cannabis industry clients have encountered challenges in obtaining their producer, processor, and retailer licenses from the Liquor and Cannabis Board, Ryan Espegard has successfully guided them through the process. When licensed clients encountered business challenges posed by the restrictive state regulations, we have developed compliant business solutions for them and we also have extensive experience advocating for rule changes and revised interpretations of existing rules that benefit our clients.
