Zuber Lawler Represents Phoenix Emerald Dispensary‘s Acquisition by Multi-State Cannabis Operator, Verano Holdings Corp. (CSE: VRNO).
Further expanding its Arizona footprint, in March 2021 Verano acquired control of the popular Emerald Dispensary from Nabis AZ LLC, the contract manager of the dispensary, in a lucrative half-cash, half-stock deal worth $28.625 million. The transaction was complicated by various court proceedings in Phoenix and Canada, as well as Verano’s preceding reverse RTO with a Canadian stock exchange-listed company and fundraising campaign. Arizona, one of the latest states in the U.S. to legalize adult-use marijuana, is also one of the fastest-growing economies. The Phoenix Zuber Lawler team representing Nabis included Janet Jackim, the firm’s Co-Chair of the Cannabis Practice Group, and paralegal Tina Dancer.
