Jim Boland advises entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and established businesses on legal and strategic issues throughout a company’s life cycle. He often serves as outside general counsel, helping clients navigate corporate governance, commercial contracts, transactions, regulatory compliance, risk management, disputes, and day-to-day operational matters.
A significant part of Jim’s practice has focused on cannabis and hemp, advising clients on licensing, ownership structures, compliance, market expansion, and evolving state and federal regulations. That experience has shaped his practical, business-minded approach, though his work is not limited to regulated markets.
Jim also leverages his broad professional network to create value beyond traditional legal services, connecting clients with attorneys, consultants, investors, operators, service providers, and other trusted professionals who can help advance their business objectives.
Jim believes sophisticated legal services should be collaborative, efficient, and cost-conscious, giving clients access to high-level legal counsel and specialized experience without the cost structure of a traditional firm.
Outside of work, Jim enjoys spending time with his wife, their two children, and their Golden Retriever, Bertha.
