Contact UsOver the last few years, the regulated market for THC products has grown rapidly in the United States. Likewise, the market for hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) products has exploded across the country. The next wave of cannabinoid products is just beginning to form, and hemp and cannabis derived cannabigerol (CBG), cannabinol (CBN) and other cannabinoids are rapidly gaining traction.
In legal and regulated markets across the country, cannabis companies are using various cannabinoid extracts to create new, cutting edge products. As with CBD, these cannabinoids may also be derived from the hemp plant. Hemp-derived CBG and CBN products, among others, are currently subject to minimal regulation. Unlike with CBD products, the Food and Drug Administration has not yet made public statements about new cannabinoids.
Our cannabis business and regulatory lawyers work with clients who are investigating and investing in various hemp-derived cannabinoids. Many of these clients are creating new products that contain CBG, CBN and other cannabinoids, or they are working to develop intellectual property in and around these cannabinoids. We work with a wide range of businesses within the industry, from small start-ups and individual investors, to major corporations moving into these rapidly growing markets.
We often work on the following matters in both the hemp and cannabis markets:
With the guidance of our cannabis business and regulatory attorneys, you can rest easy knowing that your CBG, CBN or other cutting-edge venture complies with these complex and evolving laws. Our goal is to help you remain ahead of your competitors as industry races to study, refine and market the cannabis plant.
Attorneys at Harris Sliwoski serve national and international clients in every aspect of hemp and cannabis law.

Legal stuff is always scary. And I’ve had to play offense a couple times, begrudgingly. To have Harris Sliwoski have my back? It made things a lot less prickly. They quickly walked me through my options, and were refreshingly consistent in their communications, timing and billing.

I have been working with the lawyers at Harris Sliwoski for more than 20 years both as a business owner and as an executive at a large east-coast health system and that is because they have always efficiently provided high level and clear international law advice.

Their support was particularly helpful to during the onset of COVID, when there was a big need for securing PPE quickly, all while navigating complicated international and domestic legal requirements. Harris Sliwoski’s team of international lawyers helped by conducting rapid-fire due diligence on potential suppliers, navigating the legal logistics for getting product from overseas and through U.S. customs, and drafting contracts to protect against various sorts of horribles. They did this by essentially providing what amounted to 24/7 service. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

When we started the process of building a ‘seed to sale’ cannabis company in Oregon, we saw the need for expert legal counsel. The cannabis sector is fraught with potential peril at every turn, and we wanted the best legal advice we could find. After talking to several firms and individuals, we feel extremely fortunate to have chosen Harris Sliwoski as our legal counsel.
We use Harris Sliwoski on all our international legal matters, including on our international litigation matters. We have over the last few years been involved in a couple big international legal disputes and Harris Sliwoski’s international dispute resolution team provided us with expert legal assistance on both matters. They were always very careful to explain to us what they were doing and why and what their actions would likely cost us in legal fees. Most importantly, we did extremely well on both cases and I have no doubt Harris Sliwoski was a big factor in that.
We have used Harris Sliwoski for legal help related to our international manufacturing. The lawyers with whom I worked had extensive familiarity with the international legal issues involved in our various projects and offered us key insights. I particularly appreciated how they always quickly and efficiently do what they say they will do and always within their cost estimates.
We do tough. We do bold.
