PLAINVIEW LEGAL GROUP attorneys represent businesses and individuals at every level of the Oklahoma cannabis supply chain. Our clients include state-licensed medical marijuana growers, processors, and dispensaries, whether vertically integrated or operating as stand-alone businesses, as well as investors in those businesses. PLAINVIEW LEGAL GROUP attorneys have advised a wide variety of non-cannabis companies, including real estate developers, in evaluating the regulatory and business considerations relevant to entering the cannabis space.

PLAINVIEW LEGAL GROUP attorneys have gained comprehensive, hands-on, cannabis-related experience and apply that knowledge to advise clients based in Oklahoma on the federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and governmental guidance relevant to conducting business and investing in cannabis. 

We assist our cannabis clients in understanding and assessing the federal and state regulatory framework for cannabis; business applications for licenses to operate and related administrative matters; business formation; commercial litigation; negotiating and drafting contracts, including commercial lease agreements; federal, state, and local tax issues; day-to-day regulatory advice and general business counsel; trademark protection and enforcement; and labor and employment, including workplace training, handbooks, and standard operating procedures.

PLAINVIEW LEGAL GROUP’s deep commitment to the cannabis space is best reflected by our attorneys, who are constantly monitoring existing and changing state and local laws and regulations, as well as supplying clients with the latest information through our Blog.
