The role of in-house counsel varies in responsibilities, in some companies the focus is on litigation related activities, in others the focus is on compliance and government relations. It is not unusual for the in-house counsel to also work closely with the CEO and HR teams on employee issues. The start-up cannabis company has many needs, but also has evolving needs. The role of in-house counsel may start out in an advisory role to the CEO acting as a Swiss army knife of functionality on any topic that comes up. As the company grows, the needs will change and more narrowly focused, strategic activity for the in-house counsel will. This discussion will cover the varied and evolving in-house counsel role.
