Joanne Underhill

Joanne Underhill is listed as a cannabis and marijuana law attorney serving Greenwood Village and the surrounding Colorado area. With 45 years since admission, Underhill is a graduate of American University Washington College of Law. Underhill also works on workplace matters, where state cannabis law and employer drug policies frequently conflict, the corporate side of cannabis, including formation, ownership changes and commercial contracts and build-out and construction disputes at licensed premises.

Colorado permits adult use and operates a licensed commercial market, so the work spans business and regulatory matters for operators and the criminal exposure that remains for anyone acting outside the licensing system. Regulation runs through the Marijuana Enforcement Division. Colorado is the first state to open a regulated adult-use market, with a mature and heavily audited compliance regime.
