Cannabis Claims Examples
Directors & Officers
American cannabis company MedMen’s executives are facing a $20 million lawsuit over accusations that include a lack of transparency as well as the directors and officers enriching themselves at the expense of shareholders.
Cyber Liability
A cannabis dispensary that has been in business for nearly 5 years suffers a devastating ransomware attack. One morning, all of the company’s computer systems and data, including data belonging to the company’s customers, was encrypted along with all of their backups. The ransom requested was 50 Bitcoin, equivalent to about $400,000. A typical cyber liability policy would pay the cost to resume business as usual.
