Description

About Justice Cannabis Co.

Justice Cannabis Co. is a growing multi-state cannabis organization committed to operational excellence, compliance, and building strong teams across our business. We operate in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment where collaboration, accountability, and adaptability are critical to success.

About the Role

Justice Cannabis Co. is seeking a highly organized, proactive Paralegal to support legal operations across our growing organization. This role will partner closely with Corporate Counsel, external legal partners, and internal business leaders to manage corporate filings, contracts, legal documentation, and regulatory support.

This role plays a critical part in ensuring our legal operations remain organized, compliant, and responsive to business needs.

What You Should Know About This Role

This role is best suited for someone who enjoys autonomy and does not require a large internal legal team structure to be successful. Our Corporate Counsel is located remotely, and this position serves as the primary on-site legal support for the business.

You’ll work closely with leadership, operations, compliance, and external legal partners in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly. We’re looking for someone who is self-directed, adaptable, and excited to help build structure—not someone seeking a traditional law firm environment with a large legal department.
