Few cannabis practices are as well balanced as Bennett Jones LLP’s team, which brings to bear strong capability in both the corporate and regulatory areas. In terms of the former sphere, high-profile department co-head Aaron Sonshine (Toronto) demonstrated the team’s transactional firepower with his advice to Cresco Labs on the $2bn acquisition of Columbia Care and the concurrent disposition of $185m of assets. Other transaction-focused names in this field include Angela Blake, who operates from Toronto and Vancouver, as well as Toronto-based partners Kim Lawton and Corey Yermus. Firm Chief Executive Officer Dominique Hussey fronts the regulatory and IP sides of the group from Toronto.
