This week we speak to Chase about the soup that is employment law and cannabis in the USA.
Chase’s Bio
Almost every case I handle includes complexities or nuances, often of first impression. I thrive on analyzing something new and incorporating what I learn into my daily practice. I’ve built my practice around identifying issues that might come into play down the line so that the client is fully aware of all risks.
