It’s not often that an entirely new practice area comes into being during a lawyers career. Because it is so new, Stock Legal didn’t officially enter into this new industry until we had attorneys on our team with real experience, both in representing cannabis companies and in building them.
Our team has been foundationally involved in the cannabis industry since 2018, with several of our team members coming from successful cannabis operations throughout the United States. We have vast experience helping with challenging issues in the cannabis space including commercial banking, insurance, leases, supply agreements, license agreements, access to capital markets, and acquisitions. This hands-on experience has helped guide our clients through many challenges faced by companies and individuals in the cannabis industry and helped them realize successful business operations, compliance, and overall growth.
Our team has extensive experience in transactions, and we have brought that knowledge to our cannabis clients throughout the transaction process. This includes mergers and acquisitions, securities offerings, financing, corporate restructuring, and joint ventures. We also ensure that the rules and regulations surrounding our cannabis clients are adhered to at all times to ensure the timely and effective completion of any transaction.
Stock Legal represents businesses and individuals at every level of the cannabis industry. Our clients include:
Whether you are vertically integrated and operating in multiple states, or a small business navigating your state’s cannabis regulations, Stock Legal can help you and your investors navigate the cannabis industry with confidence.
Your relationship with your customers is the lifeblood of your company. While a handshake and a warm smile are important in building trust during the contracting process, well drafted legal documents are necessary to make sure your business is protected (just in case not everyone agrees on what that handshake meant . . . ) Watch to learn more about our Contracting package.
Hiring employees is one of the most critical activities of your start-up or emerging business. Several key documents can help make sure your business is protected when it comes to employees, including a confidentiality agreement, independent contractor agreement, and an employment agreement. Because all companies with employees - no matter their size or industry - need these basic legal documents, Stock Legal offers an Employment Package for a fixed fee. Watch to learn more about our Employment Package.
Companies like yours often find themselves in a position where they have to share information that is confidential to the company in order to do business—to engage with clients, to vet potential employees, or to investigate new business ventures, just to name a few. Having sound confidentiality agreements in place can be essential to protecting your ideas; strengthening relationships with customers, partners, and employees; and helping your business grow. That’s why Stock Legal offers a fixed fee for confidentiality agreements. Watch to learn more about our Confidentiality Agreement package.
If you’re starting a company with multiple owners, or members—whether those owners are individuals or other companies—you’re probably considering forming multi-member limited liability company (MMLLC). An MMLLC is an effective way to protect the personal assets of the members, which makes it a popular choice for start-ups and new small businesses. That’s why Stock Legal offers a fixed-fee package that includes the basic tools you need to form a MMLLC. Watch to learn more about our Multi-Member Limited Liability Company and Incentive package.
If you’re starting a company with only one owner, then forming a single-member limited liability company (SMLLC) may be the best way to go. But while having just one member simplifies some things from a legal perspective, you still want to make sure you have a all the key documents necessary to establish a solid legal foundation for your SMLLC, no matter what product or service you are offering. Stock Legal can help you make sure you get your business off on the right foot. Watch to learn more about our Missouri Single Member Limited Liability Company package.
