As the top lawyer for the Bernie Sanders campaign, Brad Deutsch has had a front-row seat to one of the most remarkable presidential elections in decades.

He also has an unusual practice, mixing political and communications law with advocacy on behalf of the country’s fledgling legal cannabis industry. His 125-lawyer firm, Garvey Schubert Barer, formally launched a cannabis industry practice in 2014, and Deutsch contributes to the firm’s Cannabis Business Blog.
