Forming and running a business can be demanding yet rewarding work. But when day-to-day operations are mired by legal issues, disputes and the threat of litigation, business owners can easily find themselves lost in a sea of what-ifs and questions about what’s next. Depending on your industry, you may also have to worry about the consequences of running afoul of complicated and onerous compliance guidelines, up to and including tax audits or even criminal prosecution. This is particularly so in the California cannabis industry, which has myriad regulations and regulators overseeing licensed operators, as well as a robust traditional market that operates outside the legal framework.
