Ian Stewart (Partner-Los Angeles) co-authored "Counseling Cannabis Companies Requires a Holistic Approach," which appeared in Law360 on October 25, 2019. The article posits that in conventional industries, government regulators often administer a slap on the wrist and everyone goes about their business. "Yet little about the cannabis industry is conventional.
