About this Talk

Litigation against the cannabis industry is increasing in frequency and severity of the claims being alleged. New product liability, false advertising and consumer lawsuits are raising novel liability claims, while lawsuits that implicate specialty risk policies are also on the rise. Several recent appellate court decisions are also shaping how plaintiff attorneys will confront the industry moving forward. Four cannabis-focused attorneys who have worked on some of these lawsuits will talk litigation trends and how they are shaping the industry.
