Cross-border transactions are becoming increasingly common in today's globalized economy, and the cannabis industry is no exception. Vicente LLP uses its deep-rooted understanding of the marijuana and hemp space to provide clients with the local and international advice they need to close deals across borders, currencies, and cultures.
The international cannabis policy landscape is shifting quickly. At least 30 countries have legalized some form of medical cannabis, and several have legalized cannabis for adult use. Vicente LLP tracks these developments closely, and we have assisted government officials and organizations around the world with their development of cannabis policies. We employ a cross-disciplinary approach that borrows from several of our firm’s practice areas — including corporate, government and policy, hemp and cannabinoids, banking and financial, licensing, and regulatory compliance — to help businesses and investors successfully engage in a variety of cross-border transactions.
