Cannabis operators and ancillary service providers face mounting losses and liabilities from theft, cyber-attacks, natural disasters, product recalls, text marketing, and employment wage and hour issues. In 2022, risk management and insurance should be at the forefront for the cannabis industry. While minimum limits of insurance are often purchased as part of licensing obligations, they are often treated as an oversight and later forgotten. After discussing the risks faced by the industry, we will share all of the insider tips and tricks to make risk management and insurance a profit-center instead of a loss.

Topics include:

• The biggest cannabis industry risks, and how to mitigate or avoid them
• “Must have” insurance policies for operators in all verticals, “red flag” policy terms, best practices for applications, and more
• Insurance considerations for M&A transactions, representations, and warranties
• Drafting contracts to protect your business, including risk-transfer language and additional insured provisions
• Proper claims-handling to avoid coverage denials, and tools to fight back on improper denials

Following the update, the presenters will remain available to address questions.
