Dentons’ full-spectrum cannabis practice encompasses a broad spread of commercial and regulatory work, with its recent experience covering M&A, securities, IP and real estate, among other areas. The wider firm’s enviable international platform is a significant draw for multinational clients and the team is routinely involved in cross-border transactions, particularly US-related matters. The department is led jointly by Toronto-based Andreas Kloppenborg and Vancouver-based Kimberly Burns, both of whom handle a mix of corporate, capital markets and M&A.
