Cannabis Receivership & Litigation

I bring deep expertise as a cannabis litigation and receivership expert witness, built on decades of experience in brokerage, valuation, capital structures, and high-stakes dispute resolution. My background uniquely equips me to assist attorneys, courts, and creditors in navigating the complexities of cannabis enterprises, where regulatory burdens, financial structures, and operational realities often intersect in ways that drive litigation.

Skills include analyzing and testifying on cannabis business valuations and lost profits, partnership and founder disputes, fiduciary duties, unregistered securities, and creditor rights. I have worked extensively with operating agreements, leases, complex contracts, private placement memoranda, and corporate reorganizations. This breadth of experience allows me to assess whether terms are customary, reasonable, and compliant with both industry standards and legal obligations.

Well versed in cannabis receiverships, where to opinions that address operational, regulatory, and financial challenges. I have expertise in sale-leasebacks, recapitalization and reorganization plans, off-balance-sheet financing, mezzanine debt, preferred equity, and other complex capital structures that frequently underpin disputes in the cannabis sector.

As an expert witness, I deliver clear, court-ready opinions and testimony that withstand scrutiny. My Wharton finance training, CCIM designation, and history as a supervising broker reinforce my ability to combine financial precision with practical knowledge of cannabis business realities. Whether retained for deposition, trial testimony, or litigation support, I provide clarity, credibility, and confidence in disputes where cannabis operations, finance, and law converge.
