Holon Law at MJBizCon 2025: Connecting, Collaborating, and Advancing the Future of Regulated Industries
By Jay Kotzker
As the cannabis market becomes more competitive—and its legal landscape more complex—businesses are recognizing that strong brand protection, smart regulatory strategy, and well-structured transactions are essential to long-term success. This December 2–5, Holon Law Partners’ IP, cannabis, and regulated industries team will be on the ground at MJBizCon in Las Vegas, meeting with operators, founders, investors, and creatives committed to building durable, future-ready companies.
Practice Group Chair Jim Boland and Corporate Transactions Co-Chair Jay Kotzker will be representing Holon across the conference, hosting meetings, and engaging in conversations that matter most to the industry’s next phase.
Holon is also proud to sponsor LightUp Las Vegas, an immersive industry event hosted by PufCreativ and Fat Nugs Magazine—two organizations that have long celebrated and elevated cannabis culture. Expect a specialty mixology bar, curated tasting stations, and interactive activations designed to showcase the people, brands, and experiences that make this industry unique.
Why IP, Brand Protection, and Strategic Growth Matter More Than Ever
Despite industry headwinds, one thing is clear: the strongest cannabis companies are doubling down on their brands and positioning themselves for strategic opportunities.
The regulatory landscape remains dynamic, with federal policy debates, state-level inconsistencies, and evolving enforcement priorities. At the same time, competition is intensifying, and M&A activity—while more selective—is increasingly driven by brand equity, compliance readiness, and operational resilience.
Holon’s integrated approach helps clients navigate this convergence:
Brand Protection & IP Strategy
From trademark prosecution (in cannabis-friendly classes and creative adjacent categories) to copyright, licensing, and global brand expansion strategies, protecting intellectual property is mission-critical. The businesses that invest in brand protection now will be the ones that scale—and defend—their market position later.
Regulatory & Compliance Guidance
Whether evaluating licensing pathways, structuring compliant operations, or preparing for the impact of federal policy shifts, Holon supports clients with clarity, precision, and practical insight.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Strategic Transactions
With distressed assets, regional roll-ups, and brand-forward transactions emerging, cannabis M&A requires nuanced legal and regulatory analysis. Our team helps clients identify risks, unlock value, and structure deals for long-term viability.
Meaningful Collaboration Starts with Conversation
MJBizCon and LightUp Las Vegas are more than industry gatherings—they are opportunities to deepen relationships, sharpen strategy, and advance meaningful thought leadership in a rapidly evolving market.
