Genova Burns' Cannabis Practice and firm practice Co-Chair Michael C. McQueeny are featured in a recent NJ.com article entitled, “Here are the high-powered influencers, many close to Gov. Murphy and lawmakers, pushing for legal weed in N.J.”

The article notes, “Genova Burns, one of the state’s most recognizable law firms and long known for its involvement in campaign finance issues, recently created a cannabis law practice. Among the attorneys assigned to the group is Rajiv D. Parikh, the former chief counsel for Murphy’s transition team.”

“Michael C. McQueeny, the co-chair of the firm’s cannabis practice group, said with the proposed New Jersey legislation envisioning an unknown and unnamed group of regulatory commissioners — as well as more than 500 town interpretations of the law and yet-to-be created rules — businesses are looking to partner with law firms who understand the state’s new laws and regulations.

“We have clients who have had remarkable success elsewhere, but they come to us because they seek an on-the-ground appreciation for the process with some uniquely New Jersey features contained within the developing law,” McQueeny said.”
