Areas of Practice
Cannabis
Cannabis law is a little bit like the Wild West. There’s a lot of potential, but the rules can be convoluted and vague at best. Protecting a business in this area involves complex nuances in intellectual property, corporate law, real estate, and business strategy. A successful case requires creativity and flexibility. We protect our clients against business issues large and small, and guide them through navigating laws.
Liquor licensing
Liquor licenses and other requisite business licenses can be the protectors of businesses but are often burdensome to obtain and require regular maintenance to keep the business running smoothly. The James Firm strives to obtain and maintain these licenses so you can focus more on building a business of a lifetime. Among our clients are restaurants, hotels, bars, catering halls and many other establishments. We expertly compose applications for state agencies, tailoring each application accordingly. Visit our Liquor Licensing page and Business Licensing page for more information.
REAL ESTATE
The James Firm's corporate practice includes counseling clients on a broad range of matters involving routine residential closings to complex real estate issues, including those that arise in the context of mergers and acquisitions, leasing, commercial financing, liquor licensing, and secondary mortgage market transactions.
