WITF’s The Spark with Judith D. Cassel
Since Pennsylvania legalized medical marijuana in 2016, the cannabis industry has grown quickly—but not without growing pains. In a recent interview on WITF’s The Spark, host Asia Tabb sat down with Judith D. Cassel, a leading attorney and advisor for cannabis companies, to explore how the legal landscape has evolved and what misconceptions still cloud this rapidly expanding market.
HMS Legal Melissa Chapaska had a substantive win in New Jersey for one of CLS’s cannabis clients. The case involves a CLS cannabis client’s efforts to hold a construction contractor accountable for negligence and fraud in the construction of a cannabis facility. Following Melissa’s successful oral argument on the merits of these claims, the judge denied the construction company’s attempts to dismiss these claims. The case will proceed to adjudicate whether the construction company can be held liable for damages resulting from the claims alleged.
