Jean has dedicated her entire career to the cannabis sector, helping growers, dispensaries, investors, receivers, and other stakeholders achieve their business goals and prepare for unexpected issues. She has extensive experience with medical marijuana, retail marijuana, hemp, and CBD products, and helps clients as they establish their businesses, mitigate risk, and resolve disputes. Known for responding to clients within 24 hours or less, Jean is also a go-to advisor for a wide range of day-to-day operational issues.

Drawing from experience handling more than 1,000 contracts for cannabis clients, Jean provides a well-informed perspective and intimate knowledge of the industry as she assists clients with all aspects of regulatory compliance, cannabis licensing, and business transactions. Combined with her experience in the courtroom and before administrative agencies in multiple states, she provides clients with a roadmap for effectively navigating the complex, ever-changing, and relatively new sector. Clients who seek to reorganize or wind up their business also work with Jean for her decade of experience representing cannabis receivers, as they safeguard the interests of struggling cannabis businesses and their creditors.    

A Colorado native who was introduced to the cannabis industry in 2010, Jean founded and ran her own cannabis-focused practice in Denver before joining the firm. Her experience translates to the many other states that model their regulations after Colorado’s time-tested system. She represents approximately 15% of all licensed marijuana businesses in Colorado alone, with a 98% client retention rate.
