    Cannabis Banking: Using Data and Legal Expertise to Manage Risk and Identify Opportunity

    Thursday, December 10, 2026 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET

    Cannabis banking is a compliance program and a credit decision at the same time, and both depend on information that goes stale quickly. Licenses change hands, ownership structures grow more layered, and market pressure reshapes the financial health of customers a bank has already onboarded.

    Life sciences founders spend years perfecting the science behind their company. Few spend enough time to help protect future potential issues. A publication released too early, an offhand line in a lab notebook, or a patent portfolio initially built without fully considering the breadth of claims and future inventive pathways can quietly influence what a company is worth, or whether it survives a legal challenge at all.
