Why Cannabis Mergers & Acquisitions Require Specialized Legal Expertise

Many M&A attorneys claim to handle cannabis transactions, but without deep knowledge of Michigan’s MMFLA & MRTMA laws, they may not be able to structure deals in a way that maximizes value and ensures compliance.

Key legal questions often arise in cannabis M&A, including:

• Can a license transfer be completed through an Asset Purchase Agreement? (Hint: It usually can!)

• Is a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement or a Stock Purchase Agreement better for my transaction?

• How do municipal licensing requirements affect M&A deals in Michigan?

If an attorney doesn’t fully understand Michigan’s cannabis licensing regulations, you could face unexpected delays, legal risks, or even deal failure. At Oak Law, our extensive experience in corporate law, cannabis regulatory compliance, and commercial real estate transactions makes us the go-to law firm for Michigan cannabis M&A transactions.
