Hoban Law Group Announces International Expansion

DENVER, Nov. 06, 2017 -- Hoban Law Group (HLG) continues its pioneering trend in the cannabis industry with an international expansion of multiple offices. Four offices will open in the European Union by late fall and two offices in Latin America by spring of 2018. The need for this international expansion has been created by existing client needs in the rapidly evolving global cannabis marketplace. HLG has been working internationally for several years, including advising numerous international governments on cannabis policy and facilitating international business transactions in this space. HLG’s international offices will deal primarily with structured finance, M&A activity, worldwide trade, regulatory law, and equity placement exclusively in the cannabis industry. 

“HLG steps in to global markets quickly as our direct work with government officials on policy and regulation has kept us in this important global curve,” said Managing Partner Robert Hoban. “We have accepted the challenge of being global cannabis industry leaders & experts and will work with strategic partners, such as New Frontier Data, to move the industry forward across six countries.” 

In 2009, HLG represented Denver’s first wave of dispensaries. They won the landmark case (Frasher v. Centennial, 2009) in Colorado that paved the way for the nation’s first statewide regulated commercial cannabis system. HLG established itself as Colorado’s (2010) and the nation’s (2013) first full-time, full-service cannabis industry law firm. HLG continues to break barriers in the industry and is now the first law firm to expand internationally with its entire client base consisting of cannabis industry operators.
