Nevada’s cannabis industry is booming, but growth comes with legal friction. From disputes between partners to licensing battles, regulatory investigations, and supply chain breakdowns, cannabis businesses in Las Vegas and across Nevada face a uniquely complex commercial environment. Hone Law’s business litigation attorneys are here to help you navigate that terrain.
We understand that cannabis litigation is about more than resolving disputes; it’s about protecting your license, reputation, and market share in one of the state’s most highly regulated industries. Whether you’re a dispensary, grow operation, manufacturer, investor, or ancillary business, we offer sharp legal strategies grounded in deep industry knowledge.
Business litigation in the cannabis industry involves everything from standard commercial contract issues to state-specific licensing rules, banking restrictions, and federal regulatory uncertainty. Missteps can have severe consequences, jeopardizing business relationships and your ability to operate legally in Nevada.
The Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) closely monitors licensing, ownership transfers, inventory controls, and financial disclosures. At the same time, cannabis companies are still subject to traditional legal risks: fraud, breach of contract, theft of trade secrets, and employment disputes. These lawyers of regulation and risk demand a litigation strategy tailored specifically to the cannabis space.
At Hone Law, we help cannabis businesses assert their rights or defend themselves in a variety of high-stakes matters.
Disputes between partners or investors can paralyze cannabis businesses, particularly when there are disagreements over profit-sharing, control, or ownership transfers. We litigate deadlock situations, breaches of operating agreements, and violations of fiduciary duties between founders and stakeholders.
We represent cannabis companies in commercial disputes involving vendors, distributors, landlords, and service providers. Whether your company has been shortchanged on a delivery agreement or accused of violating a lease, our contract dispute attorneys work quickly to evaluate the damage and enforce your rights.
Losing your license can mean the end of your business. We help clients respond to investigations by the CCB or local agencies, challenge disciplinary actions, and litigate disputes related to license denials, suspensions, or improper ownership disclosures.
Cannabis businesses invest heavily in proprietary processes, cultivation methods, product formulations, and customer lists. When former employees or competitors misappropriate confidential information, we act swiftly to seek injunctive relief and damages.
From fraudulent investor pitches to misreported financials or unauthorized revenue siphoning, our team handles cases where deception threatens the integrity of your operation. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in cannabis-related fraud litigation.
The cannabis labor market is growing, and so are employment-related legal claims. We represent employers in wage and hour disputes, wrongful termination claims, and allegations of discrimination or harassment in cannabis workplaces.
Disputes in the cannabis sector demand more than routine commercial litigation tactics. Our attorneys blend aggressive advocacy with a precise understanding of state rules, agency expectations, and the unique vulnerabilities of licensed operators.
We start by identifying the legal claims at issue and whether any regulatory obligations, such as disclosure to the CCB, are implicated.
We draft tailored complaints, defenses, or counterclaims that address the dispute and position the client favorably in future licensing or compliance reviews.
We conduct discovery intending to preserve confidentiality and avoid regulatory pitfalls. Our team is skilled at navigating agency subpoenas, audits, and privilege issues unique to cannabis businesses.
We always seek practical resolutions that preserve business continuity. But we’re prepared to litigate before state courts, arbitration panels, and administrative tribunals in Nevada when trial is necessary.
In high-stakes matters involving license revocation or significant legal errors, we’re prepared to pursue appeals through the courts or challenge administrative decisions before state regulatory bodies.
Hone Law doesn’t believe in off-the-shelf litigation strategies, especially in an industry as dynamic as cannabis. Our attorneys approach every matter with a comprehensive understanding of how the cannabis supply chain, licensing structure, and market pressures shape disputes. We dig into the operational realities of your business to build a strong, fact-based case tailored to your unique needs.
Cannabis ventures often involve multiple investors, founders, or silent partners, making internal conflicts both common and high-stakes. We litigate disputes involving:
Because cannabis companies are tightly regulated, internal disputes can also trigger mandatory disclosures to state agencies. We work strategically to preserve your license and business continuity while resolving internal fractures.
The cannabis industry relies on a patchwork of vendors, distributors, and white-label manufacturers, all governed by strict terms. When those agreements break down, we handle:
