A Note from our Managing Partner, David Feldman
Greetings and welcome to the first edition of our Feldman Legal Advisors (FLA) Newsletter! It’s been quite the journey, but we are here, and as anyone in the cannabis and psychedelics spaces knows, things continue progressing rapidly (or in “dog years,” as I like to say), especially here in our HQ in New York. It’s with such an immense degree of excitement and gratitude that I come to you (via your inboxes) alongside the rest of the FLA team. The backgrounds of our incredibly talented group of attorneys span the corporate, litigation, regulatory, intellectual property and executive compensation fields. Our team is dedicated to bringing our knowledge, expertise, passion and personal successes to the cannabis, psychedelics, and wellness industries. Stick around – we have much to share with you!
