Akerman is a proud sponsor of the 2024 Cannabis Law Institute presented by the International Cannabis Bar Association (INCBA). The conference is dedicated to advancing legal excellence in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry and is widely considered to be the preeminent annual conference for cannabis law practitioners. It will feature a wide range of critical topics, including emerging legal trends, regulatory challenges, business opportunities, and social equity issues in the cannabis industry.

Jonathan Robbins, Chair of Akerman's Cannabis Practice, will speak on a panel titled “Lessons Learned: Adult – Use Programs for Future State and Federal Policy” and Thomas Mandler, Co-Chair of Akerman's Traditional Law Labor Practice, will speak on a panel titled “Cannabis Labor Issues: Labor Peace Agreements and Beyond.”
