Ashley Brandt
Hi there! I’m happy you’re here. My name is Ashley Brandt and I’m an attorney in Chicago representing clients in the Food and Beverage, Advertising, Media, and Real Estate industries. A while back I kept getting calls and questions from industry professionals and attorneys looking for advice and information on a fun and unique area of law that I’m lucky enough to practice in. These calls represented a serious lack of, and need for, some answers, news, and information on the legal aspects of marketing and media. I've got this deep seeded belief that information should be readily available and that the greatest benefit from the information age is open access to knowledge... so ... this blog seemed like the best way to accomplish that. I enjoy being an attorney and it’s given me some amazing opportunities, wonderful experiences, and an appreciation and love for this work. I live in Chicago and work at an exceptional law firm, Goldstein & McClintock, with some truly brilliant people. Feel free to contact me at any time with any issues, comments, concerns… frankly, after reading this far, I hope you take the time to at least let me know what you think about the blog and how I can make it a better resource.
Re new cannabis act as downloaded by me just now … I read through the 553 pages at a rapid pace about 15 minutes … skimming would be better word for it … even then I noted several what can only be said to be typos … in one place it mentioned 2010 when it was obvious the meaning was 2020 … in several other places the laws regarding one business type were apparently just cut and pasted for other business types without any editing … or little editing … those of of us who live in the extreme southern portion of “south Illinois” wherever that is don’t need to be overly concerned since we are excluded from all permits and licenses …
