Overview

Vicente LLP, formerly Vicente Sederberg LLP, is the premier cannabis and psychedelics law firm. For over a decade, we have been helping clients navigate laws and regulations, build and grow businesses, and shape public policy to advance the legal marijuana, hemp, and psychedelics industries across the globe.

Our experienced team of attorneys, analysts, compliance specialists, and other professionals offers a wide range of services — legal, corporate, licensing, regulatory compliance, policy, and research — for all types of plant-touching marijuana and hemp businesses, ancillary businesses, investors, trade associations, financial institutions, and governmental bodies. Led by attorneys who were instrumental in the development, passage, and implementation of the world’s first legalization laws, the firm has been at the leading edge of cannabis law and policy since the inception of the regulated cannabis industry.

With nearly 100 professionals located across the U.S. and clients located around the world, Vicente LLP is a full-service cannabis and psychedelics law firm with a global footprint and unparalleled track record.

When we founded our firm in 2010, it was just a handful of employees working out of a tiny office suite in Denver. Today, the firm has nearly 100 employees, including about three dozen attorneys, working out of offices in Denver, Boston, Los Angeles, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Austin, and Jacksonville. We also maintain strategic relationships with a number of leading firms around the U.S. and across the globe that specialize in areas of the law that are critical to cannabis clients.
