Frank Segall and Scott Moskol, co-leads of Blank Rome LLP's Cannabis group, have been at the fore of finance and restructuring in the marijuana industry since its early days, steering major capital transactions for some of its largest operators, earning them a place as two of the 2026 Law360 Cannabis MVPs.
Their biggest accomplishments:
Segall and Moskol point to their work in the past year closing multimillion-dollar credit facilities for some of the country's largest multistate cannabis operators, including Curaleaf Inc., Cresco Labs Inc., and Verano Holdings Corp.
"I'm particularly proud of our reputation in the finance arena, on both borrower and lender side, and the fact that some of the largest operators in the country have reached out to us to assist them in that regard," Segall said.
Moskol noted that his roots as a bankruptcy restructuring attorney have helped wrangle receiverships in the cannabis industry, which is generally frozen out of federal bankruptcy proceedings, by providing counsel to parties on all sides.
"I think we have really created a team and a platform that's known for our creative solutions to workouts, troubled loans, troubled operators," Moskol said. "Right now we have 10 or so receiverships in-house of different capacities. We represent the receiver in some, the company in some, the secured lender in some, and in one, we would be representing a potential acquirer."
The team's ability to facilitate both the growth and wind-down of cannabis companies demonstrates the firm's "value that we have to the whole financial cannabis financial world," Moskol said.
"We draft the loans, we help place the loans, and God help us when they go bad, then we're here to find creative solutions and strategic solutions to minimize any losses," he added.
