Our Network
Cannabis
The Committee’s core mission is to facilitate a forum to promote education on claims and litigation management relative to all aspects of the cannabis industry including current legal and regulatory compliance, claims handling and litigation management best practices that are unique to this highly regulated industry and related underwriting issues. As the risks and insurance needs of licensed cannabis companies cross multiple legal areas and all insurance lines, much greater attention to its impacts on insurance is necessary for this expending sector of the economy. The Committee will educate CLM membership to effectively manage claims and litigation in this challenging regulatory environment.

Exploring Policy Provisions for Cannabis – CE/CLE PROVIDED
Thursday, March 25th at 12:00 pm ET
The cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing markets in the United States. Consumers purchased an estimated $17.9 billion in cannabis products from legal retailers in 2020 – up from $10.7 billion in 2019. Insurers seeking to position themselves in this lucrative market face unique challenges given the nature of the cannabis business (i.e. it remains illegal under federal law) and potential exposures presented by how this product is cultivated, processed and sold to consumers. This presentation provides an overview of policy provisions developed to address potential insurance exposures unique to the cannabis industry (including claim scenarios) and further discusses how courts have handled cannabis-related coverage issues to date.
