The Indispensable Role of ADR in Cannabis Disputes

As more states regulate the use of adult-use or medical cannabis, including hemp, the quantity and variety of disputes is increasing nationwide. Many of these disputes are complex and nuanced, and may be unlike those in any other industry. Deals in the cannabis industry are often made informally, may not be properly papered, and often rely upon what we think of as traditionally unavailable or unreliable witnesses. Traditional litigation is lengthy, divisive, expensive, and risky. The cost and outcome of litigation in this industry can destroy businesses, reputations, and chances for expansion into new markets. Moreover, the parties to civil disputes are often unable to afford to take even solid cases to trial, and the winners often come up empty-handed, with uncollectible judgments because of the instability of many businesses.In this environment, Alternative Dispute Resolution is not just an option, it is indispensable. In addition to reduced cost, mediation and arbitration offer a degree of privacy that is unavailable in the court system. As regulations and market dynamics evolve, ADR's flexibility and adaptability allows it to address novel disputes and craft creative resolutions that get to the heart of the clients' concerns. Neutrals with familiarity with the industry are uniquely positioned to help the parties reach agreements that address the needs of all involved, preserve business relationships, end disputes among neighbors, and, in some situations, lay the groundwork for future collaboration. Even where there is intense competition, ADR can help stabilize the market and regulatory issues to the benefit of all participants in the industry.Join our experienced cannabis industry neutrals, Lara & Tim, as they review the range of disputes in this industry, the unique and changing legal landscape, and strategies for bringing disputes to an end. Attendees will also receive useful practice tools including ADR contract provisions and tips for the enforceability of settlement agreements.
