As long-time leaders in the cannabis and hemp legal space, Vicente LLP has considerable experience advising clients on the unique and complex regulatory issues associated with infused food and beverages, dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, and other consumer packaged goods (CPG). We also provide regulatory compliance guidance on non-cannabis ingredients, including adaptogens, functional mushrooms, and other novel and innovative food ingredients.

Supported by our corporate, regulatory, and compliance teams, CPG and functional food companies of all stages can rely on Vicente. We can help you set up your company, raise capital, get licensed, set up contracts and agreements, maintain regulatory compliance, and engage in M&A transactions.   

We have also built strategic relationships with firms that have extensive experience navigating the complex federal and state regulatory landscapes surrounding functional foods, beverages, dietary supplements, and other consumer packaged goods. Most notably, we have an alliance with Kleinfeld, Kaplan & Becker LLP, a Washington, D.C.-based firm that concentrates on products regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as the laws governing the advertising of such products.
