Pro Bono Corporate and Regulatory Work for Cannabis Social Equity Applicants

In partnership with the Los Angeles County Bar Association's (LACBA) Cannabis Section, Michelle Mabugat and Alexa Steinberg have represented numerous Social Equity applicants and licensees in a wide variety of general corporate and transactional matters, ranging from entity formation and structuring to commercial transactions and Social Equity partnerships in connection with the Social Equity Program in the City of Los Angeles.

The mission of LACBA’s Cannabis Pro Bono Program is to promote fair and equitable participation in the licensed commercial cannabis industry, foster a level playing field related to access to legal counsel, and help deter predatory practices targeting the Social Equity community. These pro bono clients come from low-income and marginalized communities disproportionately impacted by the failed War on Drugs.
