We always advise that business have standing agreements between all parties who have an ownership interest in the company. Things happen, and its important to be both prepared and protected in the event that something unforeseen occurs.
  • Employment agreements help the employee to understand what is expected of them, and what rights the employee and the employer both have during the course of employment. Cannabis business should mandate training and education for employees, both to enhance the productivity and safety of the employee, and to protect the employer from unnecessary and avoidable liability which can stem from improper training of employees.
