DEA Compliance
FTI has partnered with former Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) investigators
to provide a full suite of cannabis compliance and security solutions to support
the cannabis industry. The same ex-DEA partners who have been providing
regulatory compliance and oversight to the US pharmaceutical industry regarding
controlled substances, and are now assisting operations in the cannabis industry
to meet DEA compliance standards. We assist these operations in meeting and
exceeding regulatory mandates established by federal, state, and local agencies.
Our offerings include DEA (CSA/CFR) “seed to sale” programs, pre-license
compliance inspections, risk assessments, diversion detection and prevention,
and cash handling protection and transportation program services. Properly
implemented programs mitigate risk and avoid law enforcement scrutiny.
Intellectual Property
FTI’s Global Intellectual Property (IP) team advises clients on the value and
economic benefits of developing a strong and insightful intellectual property
plan. FTI’s IP professionals are recognized globally for their expertise and have
extensive consulting experience in emerging and complex industries such as
recycling, solar power, and biotechnology. Over 500 patents have already been
issued within the cannabis field including plant patents, patents for consumption
devices, agricultural related technology (e.g., greenhouses) and biotechnology
(e.g. R&D related to new drugs). Further, trademarks and trade secrets need
protection to effectively operate and create competitive advantages over new
entrants. Successful cannabis-related business must create smart, flexible, and
knowledgeable IP strategies to compete and protect themselves as the market
expands and matures.
