We recorded this interview with Jen Reise on Tuesday and then had to travel midweek.
By the time i’d edited the interview at an airport and got the interview live it appears the state have stepped back on the lottery approach…
You’ve read the short reports and the mediabites
Now hear from the lawyer behind the litigation on why the lottery had to end up in front of a judge.
Jen Randolph Reise
Head of Business and Cannabis Law
Jen Randolph Reise is an attorney and entrepreneur. As the Head of Business and Cannabis Law at North Star Law Group, she advises business owners on formation, capital raising, and other corporate issues, especially (but not exclusively) in the legal cannabis industry. She is passionate about helping founders manage risk proactively and maintain control while raising the capital they need.
After graduating law school summa cum laude in 2007, she was in private practice at a large Minneapolis firm for six years and spent four years in-house as securities and corporate governance counsel at a public company. She then served as a Visiting Professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law for three years, where she taught doctrinal business law courses with an emphasis on transactional law and business skills.
Jen is also an entrepreneur. She launched Sandwich Smarter, which empowers Americans caught in the “caregiving sandwich” raising their teenagers and caring for aging parents with DIY legal forms, resources and community. At North Star, she is building on that experience to create efficient, consumer-facing solutions for business owners and entrepreneurs.
