Five of our team members were included in the National Law Journal's annual list of "Cannabis Law Trailblazers" in the first two years it was published, and Business Insider named Vicente Sederberg LLP one of "the top 7 law firms in cannabis, according to investors, startups, and major companies in the booming industry." We were also included in the 2020 list of "Top Cannabis Law Firms" compiled by the Green Market Report and Cannabis Law Report. Our firm serves local, state, federal, and foreign governments in drafting legislation and regulations.

The Compliance Program Coordinator will be responsible for supporting compliance-related programs and projects. The role will consist primarily of non-billable program development activities, including organization and standardization of compliance materials, initial development of marketing materials, and general administrative tasks. The unique role is designed for an administrative professional with an interest in learning more about cannabis compliance and scaling their work to support clients in the industry.

We also offer a 401k with a 4% company match, generous paid time off, and paid parental leave.
