Cannabis Associate

Greenspoon Marder is a national full-service business law firm practicing in more than 60 areas of law. With over twelve locations across Florida and offices in Denver, Las Vegas, Nashville, New York, Phoenix, Portland and San Diego, our firm was founded with the goal of becoming big enough to handle large and complex cases while remaining small enough to offer each client focused, personal attention. Our national footprint, combined with our diverse practice group base, provides our clients with direct access to experienced attorneys working across virtually all practice areas.

Job description:

The Cannabis Law group of Greenspoon Marder LLP seeks outstanding candidates with real estate, land use, and/or regulatory compliance experience to join our Portland, Oregon office as an associate.

• 2-5 years of real estate, land use, and/or regulatory compliance experience for businesses in a highly regulated industry
