New Jersey’s cannabis and hemp industries continue to develop at a fast pace, creating both opportunities and compliance challenges for practitioners advising clients in these industries. This seminar provides attorneys a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the legal developments shaping cannabis and hemp law in New Jersey, along with the liquor licensing issues that intersect with them.
Presented by a panel of esteemed practitioners, attendees will gain practical insight into navigating the current licensing pathways and compliance obligations under the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC), municipal control and local opt-outs, and ongoing enforcement priorities for licensed operators.
With hemp-derived products remaining a hot-button issue, the seminar will address the evolving regulatory treatment of intoxicating hemp/cannabinoid products in New Jersey, recent legislative proposals, and how practitioners can counsel clients navigating the uncertainty between hemp, cannabis, and alcohol regulatory frameworks.
Whether you represent hospitality clients, cannabis operators, hemp retailers, or municipalities, this program will equip you with the knowledge needed to advise clients confidently in this evolving area of law.

- Cannabis licensing, compliance, and enforcement trends
