Greenspoon Marder adds cannabis attorney as new partner

As states “legalise recreational use” of cannabis, firms are strengthening their IP offering in the industry | Expert cannabis attorney adds to Greenspoon Marder’s services in the market.

Greenspoon Marder has hired new partner Jon Purow.

This move comes as the firm aims to bolster its presence in the cannabis industry and IP sector.

Purow has handled various cannabis regulatory matters and IP-related issues. He has served clients ranging from startups to large-scale multinational corporations.

In the cannabis sector Purow has successfully secured protection and streamlined the expansion of his clients' brands. Additionally, Purow has guided clients through complex state licence application processes and ensured compliance with regulatory requirements.

"As the cannabis market continues to mature and states like New Jersey and New York legalise recreational use, clients seek all-encompassing legal representation to safeguard their interests, whether they are asset-light IP licensing businesses, or multi-state or single state cannabis licence holders,” commented Purow.

“The firm has an impressive combination of expansive reach and innovative legal solutions in the cannabis industry, and so I am excited to join this singular team to help accomplish our clients' goals."

Gerald Greenspoon, co-managing director of Greenspoon Marder, said: “As one of the first national law firms to create a dedicated cannabis practice, we strategically explore talent that will not only expand but enhance the capabilities of our group. Gaining Jon as a partner accomplishes that goal.”

Echoing the sentiment, Michael Marder, co-managing director of Greenspoon Marder, added: “Jon’s forward-thinking approach to the industry and his immersion in the space will further guide our clients through this intricate legal landscape.”
