About Janet E Jackim

<p>canJanet&rsquo;s professional expertise representing the spectrum of commercial real estate and business interests in good and challenging economic times has been diverse. With over 45 years in law, Janet&rsquo;s real estate and business practice has represented just about every interest involved in buying/selling, financing, developing and leasing real estate: commercial and subdivision developers, investors, including tenants in common, agents and brokers, franchisors and franchisees, landlords, tenants, title agencies, non-profits, lenders and local governments. In addition, Janet assists companies' expansion and contraction plans, business development strategies and litigation. From this breadth of experience, Janet offers a more thorough and creative response to real estate and business obstacles and opportunities. </p> <p>Representative transactions include the acquisition, sale, and finance of commercial properties (office, apartment, retail and industrial), residential and commercial ground-up developments and redevelopments, retail, industrial, and office leasing, trustee&rsquo;s sales, loan workouts, and loan mod&rsquo;s, and sales commission disputes.</p> <p>In today&rsquo;s vibrant economy, Janet&rsquo;s business law and commercial real estate practice continues to be dynamic. Having represented marijuana business ventures in Arizona, Colorado and other States since 2011, Janet is often called upon to mediate partner disputes, draft specialized marijuana contracts, organize affiliated entities, arrange transactions that conclude the receivership of a dispensary or cultivation facility, change the management or board decision-makers, litigate illegal zoning decisions on behalf of marijuana businesses, introduce marijuana businesses to banking organizations and other key services providers, and connect clients with other businesses in this space. Given the conflict between Federal and State laws on the status of marijuana in the United States, Janet has also been called upon to update the public on current cannabis industry affairs.</p> <p>In the cannabis industry, representative matters include the takeover of a marijuana dispensary and its cultivation facility, kitchen, and management team in a receivership action and the related purchase of real estate and financing in an approximate $6 million series of transactions; litigation against a municipality for its wrongful zoning decision on a dispensary; drafting of cannabis law-compliant Articles, Bylaws and other entity governance documents; and the sale of members&rsquo; ownership interests in an entity managing a cultivation facility. One such transaction involved the sale of a dual-licensed dispensary/establishment license for a whopping $25 million+ sales price and the combination of separate medical and adult use licenses into a combined facility, resulting in a unique &lsquo;dual&rsquo; licensee.</p> <p>Janet continues to provide strategic business counseling to entrepreneurs and prepare various contracts to facilitate their business transactions. </p> <p>Juris Doctor, 1978: Loyola University of Chicago Law School</p> <p>Admitted to Practice Law: Arizona and Colorado</p> <p>Arizona Bar Association; Arizona Cannabis Bar Association (Board member and Secretary); Maricopa County Bar Association (Past President, Real Estate Section); Lambda Alpha International; CORENET Global (Arizona Chapter).</p> <p>Bachelor of Arts, 1974: Indiana University</p> <p>Advanced studies: Massachusetts Institute of Technology -- Real Estate Strategic Planning Forum</p> <p>Frequent speaker and author on commercial real estate and cannabis business topics.
