Multidisciplinary Approach Establishes Pittsburgh's First Medical Marijuana Dispensary

Jennifer Minter, Shareholder in the firm's Corporate section, and Jason Wrona, Shareholder in Real Estate, helped bring the City of Pittsburgh's first medical marijuana dispensary to fruition. The team provided a multitude of services to client Solevo Wellness, guiding them through a very competitive Pennsylvania Department of Health application process. Only 27 of 280 applicants were awarded dispensary permits. 

The team of Buchanan professionals including Shawn Gallagher, Charles Kolling and Brendan Lucas assisted Solevo with corporate formation, investor onboarding, property acquisitions, zoning and planning approvals, labor & employment counseling, community relations, regulatory matters and government affairs, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to servicing this client.
