Natalie Alane

Natalie Alane is a Michigan attorney whose practice includes cannabis and marijuana law, based in Lansing. Alane earned a law degree from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School and has 21 years in practice. Alane also works on appeals, both from criminal convictions and from adverse regulatory rulings.

Cannabis is lawful for adults in Michigan and commercially regulated, which means the legal questions tend to be regulatory ones: who may hold a license, what a licensed premises may do, and how state rules interact with local authority. Regulation runs through the Cannabis Regulatory Agency. It is a market where municipalities opt in individually, so local authorization is often the harder half of a licensing matter.

Alane also takes family matters.
