Kevin Sanborn

Kevin Sanborn is a Illinois attorney whose practice includes cannabis and marijuana law, based in Bloomington. Sanborn earned a law degree from Southern Illinois University - Carbondale and has 19 years in practice. The listing also shows work in driving-under-the-influence charges involving cannabis rather than alcohol, financial and regulatory offenses, including the banking and money-movement exposure cannabis businesses face and possession and distribution charges that still apply outside the licensing system.

Illinois 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. Oversight sits with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Illinois stands out as a market where licensing has run through lotteries and social equity criteria, producing a steady stream of application and ownership disputes.
