Troutman Pepper Adds New Cannabis Partner In NC
Jean Gonnell, a partner in Troutman Pepper's Regulatory Investigations, Strategy + Enforcement Practice Group, was quoted in the July 18, 2023 Law360 article, " Troutman Pepper Adds New Cannabis Partner In NC."
"I'm thrilled to join Troutman Pepper due to its strong regulatory presence," Gonnell said in a statement. "I chose the firm because it allows me to maintain top client service, while also giving me the network to expand my practice to new fronts. I'm excited to continue working with my clients in Colorado, while also expanding my client base here in North Carolina."

"There are a lot of things as a solo practitioner you want to have more support on — such as tax law, which is such a big thing in marijuana, because of the federal policy," Gonnell told Law360. The ability "to work at a very large law firm with a huge amount of great attorneys" would allow her to become more of a "one-stop shop," she said.
