Vicente LLP was proud to sponsor and participate in the Global Cannabis Regulators Summit, which will took place March 25–27, 2025, in Washington, DC.

Shawn Hauser to Moderate Global Cannabis Regulatory Panel

Shawn Hauser, Vicente partner and co-chair of Vicente’s Hemp and Cannabinoids department, spoke on global cannabis reform and banking access issues at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center. Her remarks were part of a broader international discussion alongside leaders such as Tenacious Labs CEO Nick Morland and former UK Minister Sir Mike Penning, who highlighted similar challenges in the UK’s financial and medical cannabis frameworks. 

Vicente partners Charles Alovisetti and Adam Fine were also in attendance.

Shawn's panel was also contributed to the Global Cannabis Regulatory Summit White Paper Book 2025, a landmark publication that captures the insights, frameworks, and actionable recommendations from this year’s summit. Learn more about the white paper here.
