DescriptionWhen most attorneys think of cannabis law, they think regulatory, transactional, maybe even some litigation and M&A, but what most don't realize is that one of the most challenging parts of the cannabis industry is real estate. All cannabis business licenses are tied to a piece of real estate, and the state and local regulations that dictate what properties are permissible for cannabis businesses vary greatly. Between local land use, real estate transactions, complex sale leaseback agreements, and landlord tenant issues, real estate attorneys, municipal land use attorneys, and local government policy specialists are in high demand. Cannabis tenants are becoming increasingly welcomed by traditional property owners, developers, strip malls and REITs which means that if you are a real estate attorney who hasn't worked on a cannabis-involved deal, it's only a matter of time. Join this webinar for a primer on the various types of representations, roadblocks, and solutions that attorneys need to know to assist clients in the cannabis sector or property owners who are looking to transact with cannabis businesses. Lecturer BioAmanda Ostrowitz, Esq.Amanda Ostrowitz, is an attorney and entrepreneur specializing in cannabis regulations, local government policy, and real estate site selection. In 2014, Amanda founded CannaRegs, a comprehensive database of Federal, state, and local cannabis laws and regulations.

She grew the company to 47 employees and over 100 clients before successfully being acquired by Fyllo in March 2020, where she continued to build out the platform until march of 2022. In 2021, Amanda established, SLAP Consulting, where she advises cannabis operators (existing and prospective) on cannabis site selection, real estate strategy, license opportunity identification, and new market expansion. As a true entrepreneur, with her first venture and successful exit behind her, Amanda, utilizes her unique knowledge and expertise of thousands of local and state laws and regulations to help her clients make informed strategic decisions regarding new cannabis markets and specific attractive locations. |
