Background
Substance Law is a Toronto-based cannabis law firm providing specialized legal services to cannabis businesses operating in Toronto and across Canada. Our firm helps clients navigate the complex regulatory framework governing the cannabis industry, from federal and provincial licensing to ongoing compliance.
Beyond cannabis, we advise businesses in other highly regulated industries, including fintech and payments, alcohol, psychedelics, and food and drugs. We understand that every regulated business faces its own mix of licensing, compliance and commercial pressures.
Our approach is practical and commercially minded. We explain the rules in plain language, identify the risks that matter and help clients make confident decisions, whether they are applying for a licence, structuring a transaction or responding to a regulator.
Led by founder Harrison Jordan, Substance Law combines deep regulatory knowledge with hands-on business experience, so our clients get advice that works in the real world.
