Cannabis

On March 31, 2021, Governor Cuomo signed the Marijuana Regulation & Taxation Act (MRTA), legalizing the adult use of cannabis in New York State and marking a major shift in this rapidly emerging market. As the green economy continues to expand, Hinman, Howard & Kattell evolves with the law. We recognize the growing demand for sophisticated legal counsel to support businesses operating within the cannabis and hemp sectors, and we have assembled a multidisciplinary team to meet the needs of this budding industry.
