Session 3 - The New Weed Workforce: Workforce Management and Employment Compliance Issues

Members of Preti Flaherty's Cannabis Business Group are joined by guests active in the cannabis, hemp, and CBD industries for a three-part breakfast series to discuss what it takes to properly instigate, operate, and regulate a cannabis-related venture. These seminars present an important opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, express concerns, and gain perspective on one of the most talked-about business issues of our time.

Attorneys Matt LaMourie and Steve Langsdorf conclude our fall Cannabis Law Breakfast Series with a workshop examining the unique HR considerations facing cannabis-related businesses, including current background check procedures, best practices in hiring and workforce management, and workplace health and safety considerations.
