About Shay Aaron Gilmore

As an Attorney At Law with over 20 years of legal and business experience, I serve the California cannabis community with transactional advice and counsel for operators and investors in the California legal cannabis and hemp markets. I am recognized by The Los Angeles/San Francisco Daily Journal as a Top 20 California Cannabis Lawyer, a testament to my reputation and results in this emerging and complex field. I help my clients surpass their business, regulatory, and other transactional objectives with foresight, efficiency, and unswerving integrity. I provide guidance on business formations, regulatory compliance, licensing and permitting, corporate transactions, and commercial contracts across the legal cannabis and hemp supply chains in California. I also leverage my in-depth knowledge of the insurance industry and litigation management to protect and advance my clients' interests. My mission is to enable the cannabis and hemp industries to thrive and grow with sound legal and business counsel.
