New Article in mg Magazine by Of Counsel Alyson Jaen on Cannabis License Applications

Messner Reeves LLP Of Counsel Alyson Jaen recently published an article in mg Magazine titled “How to Prepare for Your Cannabis License Application Process.”

In the article, Alyson digs deeper into the license application process, which is often more complicated than some potential business owners may realize. She explains that there are a few fundamental questions that every business owner should ask themselves before applying in an effort to take a longer-term look at their business plans.

“The better prepared you are at the outset of the process, the more competitive you’ll be – especially as a small-to-midsize and/or social equity enterprise,” Alyson explains. She also takes a look at social equity licenses and their potential complications, as well as how the process can vary from state to state.

Alyson Jaen is Of Counsel in Messner Reeves’ Denver office and brings tremendous expertise in cannabis law, as well as corporate and real estate law, to her practice. She is a frequent contributor to cannabis industry publications, and is well-versed in the compliance issues and risks surrounding the cannabis industry.
