Mendelson earned a law degree from University of Michigan Law School and has 41 years in practice.

Because Michigan has a regulated adult-use market as well as a medical program, cannabis practice there covers license applications and transfers, compliance audits and municipal approvals, as well as the charges that continue to attach to unlicensed sale and cultivation. Regulation runs through the Cannabis Regulatory Agency. Michigan is a market where municipalities opt in individually, so local authorization is often the harder half of a licensing matter.
