In response to our clients’ growing interest in the development of therapies and other FDA-regulated consumer products derived from cannabis and its components, including cannabidiol (CBD), Alston & Bird has gathered experienced attorneys from across our firm to form a team that serves the needs of this developing area. Our team includes attorneys from coast to coast in our Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, and Dallas offices. This three-part webinar series will begin on May 29. 

Part One: FDA to Hold Public Hearings on CBD – What Could Result?
