Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP has added a new practice group, the Marijuana Law and Policy Group. Recent developments in Florida, Ohio and across the country have spawned an emerging area of law and policy surrounding legalized marijuana, bringing unprecedented legal issues to the fore. Federal and state laws and policies concerning the medical and recreational use of marijuana are changing rapidly, and efforts to legalize its recreational use in additional states are gaining ground. The practice group includes David Axelrod, Douglas Berman, Rachel Goodman, Andrew Herf, W. Jan Pietruszka, Erin Smith Aebel and Mechelle Zarou. This group will counsel clients in business, healthcare, agriculture and other industries on the developing marijuana laws from a variety of legal perspectives. The team will also work with legislators, regulators and government entities that have a stake in regulating the use of marijuana.
