Frequently Asked Questions
How do cannabis law firms structure buy-sell agreements?
Law firm buy-sell agreements must account for Nevada State Bar restrictions on non-lawyer ownership and client relationship transitions. Life insurance-funded agreements ensure liquidity for surviving partners while allowing orderly client notification and matter transition as required by professional conduct rules.
Do cannabis law firm attorneys qualify for standard life insurance rates?
Yes. Legal work is classified as a low-risk, office-based occupation. Attorneys in cannabis law qualify for the same rates as other attorneys — personal health history is the primary underwriting factor, not the industry the practice serves.
