Description: Join us for a podcast discussing the blooming cannabis industry in New Jersey since legalization took place earlier this year. Nikolas Komyati, an attorney with Bressler, Amery & Ross, P.C. and Dan Abaca, Founder & CEO of Abaca, will discuss banking, finance, investors, and all that you need to get your financial ‘house’ in order when readying your business for operation. The pair will also discuss NJ specific legal issues, and how the different license classes and prohibitions help small business.
Nik Komyati believes that his varied experience in the law strengthens his ability to provide solutions to his clients’ most difficult problems. He is a Principal in the firm’s Financial Institutions practice. In that capacity, Nik represents financial institutions including investment banks, broker-dealers, hedge funds and insurers in complex matters in state and federal court. Nik has successfully defended FINRA arbitrations, receiving dismissal of all claims against the firm’s clients. He has handled regulatory inquiries and responses on a multitude of issues and has also handled employment matters including expungement of various matters from financial advisors’ Form U-4 and U-5s.
In his commercial litigation practice, Nik provides counsel for closely held businesses, transportation and trucking companies, creditors, and contractors. Nik’s commercial litigation experience includes breach of contract and enforcement of agreements, partnership/joint venture disputes, business torts, breach of fiduciary duty allegations, and shareholder issues. Nik has prosecuted and defended these matters in state and federal court throughout the country.
Nik’s diverse catalog of experience has allowed him to develop into an outside general counsel for many clients and assist with their corporate matters as well. He is involved with corporate formation and structuring, private equity transactions, hedge fund transactions and redemptions, complex securities transactions, and the sale of restricted securities under Rule 144.
Nik is also the Firm’s practice area leader for its cannabis practice group. He advises clients with regards to licensing, financial, regulatory and compliance issues for cannabis and hemp companies.
