Gowling WLG’s cannabis practice impresses with its ‘unparalleled ability to navigate complex legal landscapes’. The multidisciplinary group combines strength in transactional and regulatory work, with the wider firm’s intellectual property prowess reflected in a client list that is dominated by life sciences companies. Alongside its work for producers, it also acts for investors and retailers, among others. Key highlights included corporate and securities partner Peter Simeon advising Khiron Life Sciences on the $3m sale of its European subsidiaries to 2518542 Alberta. Toronto-based Simeon jointly leads the team together with Ottawa-based regulatory and commercial law specialist Lewis Retik. IP-focused Natalie Rizkalla-Kamel is also recommended in Toronto.
