Philip Snow
Kight Law Office, PC
Attorney
"Philip has been been involved in the cannabis industry since 2011. He began his career in cannabis as an attorney for Vicente Sederberg, LLC, the nation’s first cannabis only law firm. Philip worked with clients in both existing and emerging markets and in a variety of regulatory environments across the United States. During his time at Vicente Sederbeg, Philip also assisted in the application and licensing process for numerous entities across the country. He was part of Colorado’s historic Amendment 64 Campaign, which worked with the Marijuana Policy Project to allow the use and possession of cannabis for adults over the age of 21. Lastly, during his time at the law firm he was appointed to a working group that was responsible for creating and implementing regulations for infused products in Colorado. After working at the law firm for three years, Philip became In House Counsel for MJardin, LLC, an international cannabis cultivation management company. As In House Counsel, Philip prepared business license applications for entities in highly regulated emerging markets such as New York, Illinois, Hawaii, Florida, and Nevada. Application materials addressed not only the physical requirements of these businesses, but more importantly, the compliance requirements and procedures for obtaining and maintaining licensure in these jurisdictions. Philip worked as In House Counsel for three years and then joined Canna Advisors, LLC, a national cannabis consulting company that assists applicants in obtaining licensure in new markets. During his time there he worked with numerous applicants who were seeking licenses through highly competitive application processes. This work allowed him to become acquainted with even more regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements. Philip started his own law practice based out of Colorado in 2018 and continues to work with clients in Colorado. In addition to the clients he has in Colorado, Philip works with clients in Florida and Ohio as an industry consultant. Philip currently works as an associate attorney at the Kight Law Office in Asheville, North Carolina. This was a practice previously focused entirely on industrial hemp and CBD work, but Philip brings his extensive background in regulated medical and recreational marijuana jurisdictions to round out the practice, making it a full service law firm relating to all cannabis matters. His time in the cannabis industry has exposed him to constantly evolving regulations which seek to balance public safety concerns with the ability for patients to gain access to medicine to treat their debilitating conditions. As someone who has seen the benefits of medical marijuana on a first hand basis, Philip believes that everyone should have access to what helps them the most. Using his background and skills as an attorney he has been able to assist others as they attempt to navigate regulations in hopes of setting up businesses to provide safe and responsible access for everyone.
