A restaurant was hosting a funeral lunch. During the lunch, a gunman entered and shot an individual who was not related to the funeral reception, but who was in eyeshot of lots of the patrons and children. The victim survived & the gunman fled.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:24 ] - The insured restaurant has a CGL policy and sought coverage after a group of the patrons filed a lawsuit against the restaurant alleging emotional distress [ 01:50 ] - The coverage crew discuss The Godfather and their favorite mob movies. [ 02:45 ] - Bodily Injury under the CGL policy is usually defined as "sickness or disease sustained by a person, including death, resulting from any of these at any time." [ 04:50 ] - "O-H..." In Ohio, the case law is clear-cut: emotional distress does not qualify as bodily injury. Not even if a murder happens at a funeral. [ 07:15 ] - If ulcers or other symptoms arise after an upsetting scene, that would greatly increase the likelihood of the claim being considered "bodily injury." [ 08:20 ] - "...I-O" 31 states follow Ohio's lead. [ 09:30 ] - A California court found that "dry mouth" established bodily injury. How about embarrassment? High blood pressure? Case law can be found for many types of "bodily injury." [ 12:00 ] - If the gunman made physical contact with a bystander, that is a factor courts look to that could strengthen the case for bodily injury. [ 13:25 ] - A scenario where a claimant alleges their alcoholism was caused by his termination from a job presents a gray area, though the little case law available suggests psychological or psychiatric trauma may be too attenuated from the loss. [ 15:05 ] - Sleeplessness qualified as bodily injury in a New Hampshire case, and did not qualify in a New Jersey case. Seattle courts are still undecided. [ 16:55 ] - "Fuzzy" is a technical legal term. [ 17:25 ] - Michele provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

This claim involves contractual issues between a general contractor and an electrician. The electrician got his wires crossed and caused some damage, and now there's lawyers throwing around phrases like “contractual indemnity” and “additional insureds” and “insured contracts.”    Notable Timestamps [ 00:34 ] - Nate is a longtime personal lines adjuster switching to commercial lines and taking over a claim from a retiring adjuster. [ 01:40 ] - Call (630) 509-8704 to leave a voicemail with your anonymous adjuster story! Mike shares his own story! What can you do about a drunken sailor... [ 04:00 ] - CGL policies typically exclude liability assumed under a contract. Typically, two-party contracts are not occurrences because a breach of contract is not a matter of chance or fortuity. The GL policy is not a performance contract or a guarantee of work product or quality. [ 06:35 ] - However, CGL policies have an EXCEPTION to the EXCLUSION that keeps out two-party contracts. The exception permits coverage for "insured contracts"-- basically three-party contracts like the one where a general contractor contracted with an insured electrician, and then the homeowner's property got damaged.  [ 09:15 ] - Contractual indemnity is created by a contract to assume another party's tort liability, whereas an additional insured is created by an endorsement in the insurance policy specifically naming the party to be insured. [ 11:32 ] - An Additional Insured endorsement may include some limitations, but otherwise the named additional insured has the same rights as the insured who signed up for the policy. [ 11:55 ] - Additional Insured have broader rights than a contractual indemnitee, but they also have broader responsibilities: the same responsibilities as the original insured to cooperate, act timely, etc. [ 13:21 ] - A contractual indemnitee can refuse responsibilities like providing certain documents, but miss out on perks like getting a defense provided by the insurance company. [ 14:45 ] - The CGL policy provides these differing options as a way of providing flexibility for different situations. [ 15:12 ] - Not to get "distracted", but the CGL also carves out an exception for "sidetrack" agreements-- agreements pertaining to the train tracks extending out of factories and warehouses.

A restaurant hired a plowing service. One night, before the service plowed the lot, a grandmother exits her car, slips and falls, and breaks her hip. The woman sues, but the restaurant did not report the injured woman's claim to their insurer for six months.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:26 ] - By the time the insurer learned of the loss, the injured person had already obtained a judgment against the insured.  [ 01:35 ] - How do you walk on ice? [ 03:28 ] - A CGL's notice provision likely requires "immediate notice", "notice as soon as practicable", or "prompt notice". Courts interpret these provisions in line with a reasonableness standard. [ 04:00 ] - Breach of this policy provision can give the insurer the right to deny coverage, so claims are often reported even prior to suit being filed. [ 05:11 ] - In Illinois, courts examine factors including the wording of the notice provision, the sophistication of the insured, the diligence of the insured, and prejudice. [ 07:33 ] - Some states (but not IL) require the insured to show prejudice-- in layman's terms, some impact beyond a technality. [ 10:50 ] - Even if the insured feels that the snow plow company should be at fault, the insured must still comply with the insurance contract. [ 12:27 ] - There's no universal bright-line rule on the amount of time: cases range from finding breach at three months, to finding no breach at two years. [ 13:37 ] - Courts would also consider factual situations like difficulties with mail. [ 14:10 ] - Typically in lawsuits lack of knowledge of a contract is not a defense, but in this case the sophistication of an insured is a factor. [ 16:14 ] - Michele provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

Anytime something with wheels leads to a claim, Parker's colleagues come to Parker to find out whether the claim should fall under the CGL policy or the auto policy… or a secret third option. Notable Timestamps [ 00:22 ] - Mike details the above scenario. [ 01:15 ] - An "auto" would usually be covered under Business Auto policy, whereas "mobile equipment" would typically be covered under CGL. [ 02:20 ] - "Auto" means: 1. A land motor vehicle, "trailer" or semitrailer designed for travel on public roads; . . . However, "auto" does not include "mobile equipment". [ 03:15 ] - For the full definition of "mobile equipment", see: https://www.plrb.org/documents/gl14-mobile-equipment-defined/ [ 05:00 ] - The game begins! Is it an "auto" or a piece of "mobile equipment"? Cars are autos, while bulldozers are mobile equipment. [ 07:10 ] - Dump trucks are considered autos. [ 07:50 ] - What about a road grader that is used for snow removal? Recall that "self-propelled vehicles with the following types of permanently attached equipment are not "mobile equipment" but will be considered "autos:" ... Equipment designed primarily for: Snow removal;" In this case, it was not designed "primarily" for snow removal. [ 09:35 ] - Backhoes, skid steers, and combines are equipment, but a boat is neither! [ 11:40 ] - An auto with a permanently attached tree removal device? "Mobile equipment" means... "Vehicles, whether self-propelled or not, maintained primarily to provide mobility to permanently mounted ... Power cranes, shovels, loaders, diggers or drills;" [ 13:29 ] - A cherry picker is dual purpose: can be considered an auto or a piece of mobile equipment, depending on if the stabilizers are down and the truck is in use. [ 16:01 ] - Mike provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

Today on “Don't Take No for an Answer,” Eric Jesse and Alexander B. Corson discuss Aearo Technologies v. ACE American, in which a Delaware court held 3M could not credit $372 million it paid in defense costs against self-insured retentions in legacy CGL policies issued to its subsidiary, Aero Technologies, before its aquisition. The hosts discuss the implications of non-market language included in those policies – which specified that the self-insured retention could not be satisfied by payments made on Aearo's behalf – and steps the insured might have taken to avoid this hyper-technical coverage defense that seemingly ignored the reality of corporate structuring and would have required 3M to engage in the “pointless formality” of transferring money to an Aearo bank account in order to satisfy its self-insured retentions.

So the insured, being the diligent car owner and maintenance-oriented person that he is, appears at his auto shop for a routine oil change. However, the insured auto shop failed to adequately tighten the oil drain plug, causing all of the installed oil to leak out. According to the insured, this was a routine oil change, performed every six months, and there must have been a mistake in the drain plug tightening process. As a result, the engine completely seized, causing the entire engine to need to be replaced.  Notable Timestamps [ 00:15 ] - The customer files a lawsuit against the insured auto shop. The insured auto shop has a CGL policy is seeking coverage for the engine repair under that policy. [ 01:30 ] - Are the days of changing your own oil over? [ 02:33 ] - The insured must establish that this event was an occurrence-- an accident or unexpected event. Courts are split on whether faulty work constitutes an occurrence. [ 05:00 ] - The "Your Work" exclusion bars coverage for property damage to the insured's work, or any part arising out of it. On the one hand, lack of oil caused the engine to seize. On the other hand, the shop didn't work on the engine itself. Courts would be split. [ 08:40 ] - The majority position (on engine repair specifically) follows Travelers Ins. Co. v. Volentine, 578 S.W.2d 501 (Tex. App. 1978): the whole engine is considered "other property" in cases such as this. [ 10:33 ] - The minority position is represented by Barbee v. Hartford Mut. Ins. Co. 408 S.E.2d 840 (N.C. 10/3/91) and State Auto. Mutual Ins. v. Glover, 253 Miss. 477 (1965). [ 13:04 ] - The intent of the "Your Work" exclusion is to limit coverage to the scope of the work the insured was hired to perform. [ 15:13 ] - Michele provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

Rgb Is joined by Shannon the owner and founder of the Cannabis Golf League, we talked about how she created the CGL some of the goals she has for the club as well as some events they have coming up this summer.

[TW//Major depression, panic attacks, anxiety, alcohol abuse] Filmmaker and director Maddie Kitchen was 19 and clinically depressed and suffering panic attacks. At first, alcohol helped relieve her symptoms but years later she found herself suffering a mental breakdown and shaking from alcohol withdrawal every time she tried to stop. Maddie finally surrendered and found recovery through filmmaking and fellowship. Maddie shares exactly how she uses the power of creativity and community to arrest her own and other people's addictions, depression and anxiety. Maddie is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts - in recognition of her work using film to support and advocate for inclusive and diverse mental health and addiction recovery - is a social filmmaker and runs the non profit, Camden based social enterprise Sobriety Films UK.   She set it up in 2019 as a lived experience, female led organisation that uses film to promote and support people in recovery from addiction, mental ill health and trauma.

Policy only Applies to Risks Taken by Insurer Post 4699 Plaintiffs in multiple consolidated actions appeal the Judgment granting the Motion for Summary Judgment in favor of defendant, The Burlington Insurance Company ("TBIC") based upon a clear and unambiguous exclusion. In Cameron Soule v.  Woodward Design + Build, LLC, et. al., Nos. 2022-CA-0352, 2022-CA-0353, 2022-CA-0354, 2022-CA-0355, 2022-CA-0356, Court of Appeals of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit (December 21, 2023) Louisiana resolved the dispute. STATEMENT OF FACTS Program ("CCIP") policy or "Wrap-Up" policy from Houston Casualty Company ("HCC") for the insurance on the Project. Regarding insurance, Eagle's Subcontract stated, in pertinent part, that Woodward "has arranged for the Project to be insured under a controlled insurance program (the "CCIP" or "Wrap-Up")." In connection with the accident, plaintiffs filed suit against various parties and TBIC, Eagle's own commercial general liability ("CGL") insurer. TBIC denied coverage for Eagle, maintaining that its CGL policy contained a"Wrap-Up Exclusion" which precluded coverage to Eagle for all claims arising from the Project. The Wrap-Up Exclusion provided, in pertinent part, that coverage is excluded in "[a]ll locations where you perform or have performed work that is or was to be insured under a consolidated (wrap-up) insurance program as described below." (Emphasis added). On April 24, 2017, the Administrator sent a letter advising Eagle that it was not covered "under the General Liability Contractor Controlled Insurance Program for the trade of Hoist Rental and Service - the Standard Project." TBIC maintained that the CCIP policy was intended to cover Eagle under two distinct provisions: 1) as a lessor of equipment under the above mentioned "Additional Insured" endorsement; and 2) as an enrolled contractor, (for Eagle's work pursuant to the Subcontract to erect, dismantle, and provide preventative maintenance for the hoist) under the Wrap-Up endorsement. The latter endorsement provided that Woodward's "enrolled contractors" are insured "only while performing duties related to the project." Interpretation of Insurance Contracts An insurance policy is a contract between the parties and should be construed using the general rules of interpretation of contracts set forth in the Civil Code. The judicial responsibility in interpreting insurance contracts is to determine the parties' common intent. An insurance policy should not be interpreted in an unreasonable or a strained manner so as to enlarge or to restrict its provisions beyond what is reasonably contemplated by its terms or so as to achieve an absurd conclusion. If after applying the other general rules of construction an ambiguity remains, the ambiguous contractual provision is to be construed against the insurer and in favor of coverage. Under this rule of strict construction, equivocal provisions seeking to narrow an insurer's obligation are strictly construed against the insurer. ANALYSIS Woodward's Subcontract with Eagle specifically provides that Woodward Moreover, the plain language of the Wrap-Up Exclusion stated  that coverage for Eagle is excluded in "[a]ll locations where you perform or have performed work that is or was to be insured under a consolidated Accordingly, the Wrap-Up Exclusion must be enforced as written. ZALMA OPINION Courts are required to read the entire policy at issue and interpret the policy as its wording relates to the facts of the incident that resulted in bodily injury to the plaintiffs.

Episode 75 takes a brief look at the CGL decision to not change the 12th route for 2024. I discuss a little about if that is a good decision or not and what other options the CGL now have to address what they clearly see as issues with the 12th in its current state.

Kerry and guest Charles Lubar discussed Lubar's journey from working for the IRS to representing celebrities and moving to Kenya to start a business. Lubar shared his fascination with music and his involvement with the 4th and 5th generations of Yo Hung Nepo M kmo. He also talked about his decision to leave the IRS and move to Kenya with his wife and daughter, the challenges they faced in building houses and getting into small-scale manufacturing, and the partner's sudden death that led to the government distributing the assets to miscellaneous African creditors. Despite the difficulties, Lubar believes that taking risks and experiencing new things made his journey exciting and worthwhile. The conversation also touched on Lubar's work with foreign entertainers in London, his involvement with Michael Jackson's concert in the UK, and how he helped Michael Jackson acquire the Beatles catalog and other catalogs with pretax money. Lubar explained the technical details of the transaction and how it worked better for Michael than it would have for Paul McCartney. Additionally, he discussed the foreign side of creating partnership structures that worked better than corporate structures for Americans doing business outside the United States. The meeting also highlighted CGL's expertise in handling unique situations and their dedication to helping their clients.

In this more technical episode of the Paul Zimnisky Diamond Analytics Podcast, globally respected gemologist Branko Deljanin joins the show to discuss the detection of lab-diamonds and the chemical traceability of natural diamonds. The conversation begins with Branko telling the story of the first time he saw a gem-quality CVD lab-diamond. Paul and Branko then discuss whether man-made diamond producers will ever get good enough that labs will not be able to distinguish them from natural diamonds. Next, the two discuss the technical ability to trace a diamond back to its source based on the chemical makeup. Finally, Branko shares his thoughts on the notion of using a lab-based approach to screen sanctioned Russian diamonds.                                                                                                                     Hosted by: Paul Zimnisky Guest: Branko Deljanin Guest plug: www.brankogems.com More information on PZDA's State of the Diamond Market report: www.paulzimnisky.com/products   Show contact: paul@paulzimnisky.com or visit www.paulzimnisky.com.   Please note that the contents of this podcast includes anecdotes, observations and opinions.

Privacy is ubiquitous in our legal and business landscape today and it can seem really big and daunting to companies of all sizes. Although privacy as a legal concept and an operational imperative is new for organizations, the law is developing so rapidly that it can be hard to keep up. In this episode, CGL partner Keri Kelly and Robert Glaser, Managing Principal at Conduit Privacy Solutions join the conversation to discuss operations, privacy, and data security. They also dig into the link between privacy, legal, and IT – a triad of elements to form a single operational program. Discover:  what a functional operational privacy program looks like,  how a functional operational privacy program decreases the financial and reputational risks to an organization, and  how to implement privacy into your operations and product offerings.  Security and privacy need to be part of the fabric of your organization. To do this, it should be part of everybody's job from the executive suite down to customer-facing employees.It's not just about the policies and procedures, but about making a culture of privacy inside the organization. In this episode, you will hear: Privacy blind spots The triad: privacy, security, and law Privacy as a team sport within organizations The “privacy by design” framework The foundations of operational privacy How privacy and security can affect a company's valuation during an M&A process About the risk deceptive or misleading practices about your privacy pose in your public-facing materials Types of privacy and security training in the onboarding process Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

In this replay episode, I speak with privacy expert Jessica Clark about her journey to distributed work with CGL. She explains how she moved from a fulfilling job with the FTC in Washington D.C. to a leafy suburb in Canada. She also discusses why she didn't want to (or ultimately need to) choose between her career and the lifestyle she desired.  To be sure, Jessica's story shows the value of distributed work for lawyers. However, in her experience, the clients benefit too.  In this episode, you will hear about: Jessica's career background What spurred her decision to pursue distributed work How she came across CGL The impact the distributed work model has had on her life The distinction between distributed work and remote work The benefits of a distributed model How a distributed model differs from COVID work-from-home arrangements Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

In this episode, I will meet you with Hannah Genton - a Berkeley school of law graduate and a former start-up attorney turned entrepreneur. After years of practice in one of Silicon Valley's leading law firms, she realized it was never quite enough, regardless of how much she accomplished. Additionally, the extra workload she was required to take on left her sacrificing family time, especially after the birth of her first child. This fueled the belief that there must be a better way to honor her professional and personal life. This is why she co-founded a very different law firm - CGL was born with the idea of giving its attorneys an unprecedented level of freedom and autonomy. This meant choosing where they worked and committing to a set number of hours each week. It was a success, and now, CGL offers on-demand legal services for companies and law firms alike. Hannah said that the first thing she did when starting her company was to google " How to start a law firm" - she had no business experience in how to set things up. "In the law, you often know the answer; there is a rule and a way things are done. As an entrepreneur - it is kind of blank slate, and you figure it out." This is what she said about her experience leading her legal firm: " I never expected how much I would love my job and that it was even possible to feel that way." Here are Hannah's key takeaways for anyone who is leaving their corporate career to become an entrepreneur: - Having a sound financial plan will give you creative freedom and time to pause intentionally so that you can plan the future. - Don't be afraid to fail; every failure is a learning opportunity. - Take the plunge, despite the fact it is scary. Please tune in to hear more about her journey after quitting her corporate job to create her own company and life.

In this episode, CGL partner Jenny Gumer joins us to discuss ways to balance urgent work with important life events - so you get the best of both worlds.    Since life is always changing and the things around us are always evolving, balance is a work in progress. What is balanced for us at one point may not be balanced at a different point, and so you have to find what works for you at any given point in your life.   A large element of this is being mindful of your relationship with work. This is key if you don't want to end up compromising things in your personal life. At CGL, we take pride in creating a workspace that allows our employees the autonomy to do that.    It's essential that we all make an effort to invest in ourselves – and that includes taking some time off, doing things to keep you healthy and stress-free, and making your life full and rich, whatever that means for you.   In this episode, you will hear: How to recalibrate to achieve better balance Finding clarity and peace of mind through meditation Ensuring proactive communication with your clients Blocking time off to re-energize yourself Setting daily reminders for inspiration and motivation Intentionally working in movement through your day The concept of taking time off Jenny's book recommendations   Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

In this episode, CGL partner Jenny Gumer joins us to discuss some regulations around CBD products. Currently, the regulatory landscape for CBD products is a total mess and the only road out of all this confusion is if the FDA changes its stance on CBD and introduces federal regulations. Once (and if) that happens, states will then align their regulations  with the federal regulations, resulting in increased uniformity and certainty.    Until then, it's going to continue to be  tough to navigate the CBD regulatory landscape, and impossible to comply. And so, the trick is to balance the risk of enforcement against the costs of compliance, and for businesses to make decisions based on their individual risk profiles and strategic goals.   Ultimately, any company selling CBD products should seek advice from an experienced attorney in the state the products are being manufactured, as well as any state where they're selling a significant number of products. This will help the company cover its bases with local manufacturing regulations as well as align labeling with state regulations where most products are being sold.    In this episode, you will hear: Federal laws around CBD products Why you need to avoid making any health claims about your product Why the FDA doesn't allow CBD in food and dietary supplements. The exclusionary rule How states are stepping into this regulatory void What the state regulations look like Tips for navigating CBD laws in the U.S.   Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

CGL senior corporate paralegal Sean Agranov joins us today to talk about why you shouldn't lose your EDGAR codes. The EDGAR system stands for Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis and Retrieval system, which is used to submit most filings to the SEC to provide transparency and information to investors, analysts, and regulators. Access to the EDGAR code is strictly controlled, yet it's also the most important code that you should not lose.   Working as a paralegal for over 20 years now, Sean has spent many years developing his expertise in corporate transactions as well as corporate governance and general corporate and securities matters. Sean has a wealth of knowledge having worked with the SEC public reference room when the SEC piloted the EDGAR program.   In this episode, we leverage Sean's experience as a corporate paralegal to discuss the importance of corporate governance hygiene to make things more efficient in the long run and save some legal costs. And even if you're not a public company and you don't have an EDGAR code, any information discussed here is still going to be helpful and relevant to you.   In this episode, you will hear: Smaller private companies filing a Form D The five sets of numbers, letters, and characters issued to access staggered filing: Central Index Key (CIK) CIK Confirmation Code (CCC) The EDGAR Password PMAC Passphrase Why Passphrase is the most important How to regenerate a new Passphrase Practical tips for retaining your Edgar code or any kind of important corporate compliance information Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

Over the last few weeks, months, and years, there have been a lot of developments in the privacy world. For instance, Californians voted to replace the California Consumer Privacy Act with the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) in November. Additionally, the new administration is likely to be more privacy-minded, and they'll also need to renegotiate legal transfers of personal data from the EU to the US.  COVID-19 has also resulted in significant changes, largely due to the movement towards work-from-home arrangements. People are now handling and processing confidential information on their own home networks, posing some serious security risks. So, how do we continue to protect privacy where workforces are distributed?  With all these recent developments, CGL privacy counsel Jessica Clark joins the podcast to help us navigate the privacy ecosystem. She talks about what these changes mean and what to expect in 2021.  We also tackle the biggest question: what should companies be doing moving forward given the risks involved?  In this episode, you will hear: Why privacy is such a hot topic on the global stage The drivers behind recent privacy developments Some of the more significant developments Details about CPRA and how companies can become CPRA-compliant Some tips for early-stage companies in managing data What enforcement looks like in California under the new Data Protection Agency What we expect from the Biden administration in 2021 Some important definitions Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

In this episode, I speak with CGL partner, Jenny Gumer about Psilocybin mushrooms, the Oregon Measure 109, and what that means. Are mushrooms illegal or are they legal? If they are legal, how do we use them?  With our background in the cannabis industry, we thought the “mushroom market” would be worth discussing given their similarities (and differences). The regulatory environment around these emerging ‘drug' markets is unestablished, which is incredibly interesting from a legal perspective. Here, we delve into some potential scenarios for the mushroom market and what that means for consumers.  In this episode, you will hear: About the Oregon Measure 109  What magic mushrooms are The current status in terms of clinical studies The general movement of changing drug laws in the United States What it means for consumers who want access to mushrooms  What it means for businesses that want to provide mushrooms for therapeutic purposes The legality of Psilocybin use at the federal level Challenges that Cannabis businesses currently face (and what Psilocybin businesses will most likely face) Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

Today, we talk about a topic very close to our hearts. In fact, it's at the core of the CGL business model – distributed work.  CGL started as a distributed company from day one. It was the type of working environment we wanted to set up for ourselves. Later, that blossomed into a space we wanted to create for other people as well.  We recognize the terminology "virtual law firm" has a lot of negative connotations. When you call yourself a virtual business, people have preconceived notions and misconceptions around what actually that means. The change in terminology alone from a virtual firm to a distributed company has been a powerful shift that bypasses those misconceptions. Ultimately, it has allowed us to positively change the nature of ‘work'.   In this episode, you will hear: What is distributed work? The structure of the distributed work model The differences between remote work and distributed work The benefits of a distributed company Common misconceptions around distributed work   Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

In this episode, I speak with CGL partner, Jenny Gumer about the impact of changing regulations on cannabis businesses. One of the key issues outlined is the importance of cannabis companies having regulatory, commercial, and corporate counsel work together when advising cannabis companies. Like other businesses, cannabis companies benefit from input from corporate and commercial attorneys. But it's crucial that it's supported by regulatory counsel because of the complexities in the regulatory ecosystem that governs the cannabis industry. .  In this episode, you will hear: Why there is a need for a holistic legal counsel Reasons for the separation of services in the cannabis industry Problems companies run into if their corporate or commercial counsel doesn't take these regulations into consideration Regulatory disclosures and things to consider when drafting contracts The need for phased acquisition  Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?
