Jeff matura, kevin barrett, and melissa england prevail in jury trial involving cannabis dispute

In one of the first jury trials in Arizona involving the legal cannabis industry, Jeff Matura, Kevin Barrett, and Melissa England represented investors and the owners and operators of a licensed cultivation facility.  They alleged breach of contract and improper interference with contract claims against outsiders who engaged in a hostile takeover of a licensed cannabis entity.

The trial spanned three weeks.  The jury then deliberated less than two hours and returned a unanimous verdict for the firm's clients, which totaled more than $1.7 million.  The result is considered one of the first successful verdicts in the cannabis industry.
