Hurley, known for his legal expertise in emerging plant and alternative medicine, and his innate understanding of new technology integration has been dubbed the father of Arizona cannabis law. He was a leading voice in the successful efforts to legalize medical marijuana and adult-use cannabis in Arizona. Recognized nationally, Hurley has been a guiding force behind the funding, formation, and sale of numerous vertically integrated cannabis enterprises.
“It’s an honor to welcome Ryan into our firm. His deep experience from seed to sale aligns with our ethos – to provide best-in-class, efficient, intelligent service to our sophisticated clients. As with all of our attorneys, he is an entrepreneur and has walked in his client’s shoes,” said Brad Wideman, managing director.
Wideman Group will also support the development and launch of Litix Legal, a cutting-edge lawtech startup co-founded by Hurley and his business partner, Melvin Dolan. “Ryan and Melvin are at the vanguard of emerging technologies and efficiencies for the practice of law. Through Litix, they will drive our firm’s commitment to hyper-efficient, cost-effective, legal services through artificial intelligence and emerging law practice technologies,” added Wideman.
Previously, Hurley served as general counsel for Copperstate Farms, one of the largest greenhouse cannabis producers in North America and one of the top retailers in Arizona under the Sol Flower dispensary brand name. His guidance helped the company grow and develop as the biggest cultivation group in Arizona, with full-service manufacturing, processing, and nine retail establishments. His strengths in zoning and land use, in particular, supported the company’s aggressive expansion efforts.
Hurley has shared his legal expertise on stages throughout the country including at the Cannabis World Congress and Exposition in New York City. He is a founding member of the National Cannabis Industry Association and the Arizona Dispensaries Association.
