Ian Stewart (Partner-Los Angeles) will join a panel for an April 23, 2020, Perrin webinar on “The Anticipated Obstacles & Benefits for Insurance Companies & the Cannabis Industry Due to Coronavirus.” Topics for discussion include the incongruity of cannabis simultaneously being federally illegal and deemed an essential service by multiple states; the impact of COVID-19 on the cannabis market/sales outlook; the impact of COVID-19 on cannabis legalization efforts at state and federal levels; limitations on the cannabis industry to access federal and state COVID-19 assistance programs/CARES Act/SBA loans; business interruption insurance and the cannabis industry; cannabis insurance underwriting pre- and post-COVID-19; and the exposure of cannabis companies to anticipated COVID-19-related liability claims.
