Molecular plant science for operators and attorneys
PhD plant scientist and synthetic biologist, former biotech patent analyst. For cannabis operators, an honest read on whether, what, and how much to build. For legal teams, independent analysis and expert testimony on cultivar identity and genetics.
Research-grade plant science applied to commercial cannabis operations. Tissue culture system design, pathogen detection workflow development, and molecular lab infrastructure for operators serious about doing it right.
Cannabis IP cases are won and lost on molecular evidence. I provide independent genomic analysis, cultivar identity reports, and patent litigation support for legal teams handling cannabis genetics disputes.
Most cannabis expert witnesses approach disputes from a general operational or cultivation background. When the case turns on intellectual property, genetic lineage, or molecular evidence, that's not enough. As a PhD plant molecular biologist and senior patent analyst, I bring the scientific depth and IP fluency that cannabis genetics cases actually require. The result is clear, objective analysis built to hold up under cross-examination.
FAQs
What legal cases do you accept as a cannabis expert witness?
I specialize primarily in intellectual property (IP) protection, patent litigation, plant breeder's rights, utility patent disputes, and breach of contract cases involving proprietary genetics or material transfer agreements (MTAs).
Can genetic sequencing prove cultivar identity in court?
Yes. Genotype profiling provides an objective, biological record of cultivar identity. I help legal teams establish a defensible baseline of identity to prove or disprove unauthorized exploitation.
Do you provide conflict checks before engagement?
Absolutely. Legal teams can initiate a formal conflicts check and request a copy of my current CV and fee schedule directly through the contact form.
