Before we start a short Ed’s note…the pages that you can link to below take the reader to examples of the documents. To access the full documents do head to the site at  https://abizinaboxcannabis.com/ or contact Jordan directly.

Please see those contact details at the end of the article.

 

In our case, as a firm of certified public accountants, though substantially all of the guidance has application for attorneys.

Also, Circular 230 Practitioners, and other professionals that have an on-going involvement with the provision of professional advice to cannabis industry businesses or otherwise.

I would like  to emphasize and repeat that substantially all of the documents which are included herein ARE NOT BOILERPLATE.

We have spent well in excess of 200 hours, six digits in legal fees and discussions with five different flavors of attorneys with per diem rates starting at $500 and quickly escalating to $950/hour to get the information presented.

These documents were crafted to work with the unique issues associated with our practice, and I’d suggest only someone with the intelligence level of a small primate  would assume that they can cut and paste them into another business.

We preface the discussion by noting that if your website is built on WordPress, then the WPAutoTerms plug-in is worth 50X what it costs.

Here are the pages we created:

Legal Mumbo-Jumbo Omnibus provides an index to legal pages, disclosures, and the rest of the Legal Mumbo-Jumbo Omnibus shit that keeps our lawyers and insurance carriers calm and tolerable.

We have invested plent of $’s  in producing the best documents and agreements we can to protect our business.

As a general matter of policy, we DO NOT modify our core documents without an EXCEPTIONALLY good reason.  So it isn’t a deal breaker, please don’t even ask.
