Arizona Medical Marijuana Business Law

Rose Law Group attorneys, planners and project managers have worked with medical dispensaries and cultivation businesses around the country, and are now prepared to assist an Arizona Medical Marijuana business in every aspect of their business.  From corporate formation, advising on the tax implications and non-profit status, to site selection, security issues, LEED certification, product regulations, Federal, State and Local enforcement risks to land use concerns and zoning plans for various sites, to input into the Department of Health Services regulations, employee handbooks, and regulations on hiring, RLG's Arizona Medical Marijuana Law Team is assisting the most sophisticated operators and is helping build those with less experience into viable business operations. Rose Law Group notifies all clients that this business is not currently legal under federal law.

RLG provides the full range of legal risk analysis, due diligence, timeline concerns, etc. in order to give Arizona business owners the best opportunity to capture one of the limited medical marijuana licenses that will be issued in mid to late 2011 in the State of Arizona.
