Rudick Law Group (RLG), a women-owned, cannabis-focused law firm based in New York City, has announced the addition of Victoria Cvitanovic as Counsel.
This newest hire will expand RLG to New Orleans, Louisiana and Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Ms. Cvitanovic will maintain offices. This announcement follows significant milestones, including exceeding average law firm growth rates in the firm’s second year and surpassing $1 million in revenue during its inaugural year, according to the firm, a feat achieved by less than two percent of women-led businesses.
Future Growth for Rudick Law Group
Victoria Cvitanovic brings a wealth of legal expertise to RLG, including a strong background in litigation, cannabis and psychedelic medicine law, healthcare and medical malpractice law, and regulatory compliance, according to the firm. She is also in the process of completing her CIPP certification, which will endow Cvitanovic with a deeper knowledge of U.S. privacy laws.
Formerly at a large law firm where she managed healthcare, transportation and supply chain logistics matters, along with assisting large corporate clients with overall litigation portfolio management, Cvitanovic has a fast-growing niche practice representing producers, manufacturers, retailers, physicians and hospital and health care networks within the cannabis and psychedelic medicine supply chains, according to the firm. Her work with Ketamine Assisted Therapy providers serves to empower health care practitioners and practices to embrace psychedelic medicine, to structure appropriate patient and employee agreements, to ensure appropriate medical malpractice and other insurance coverages and to keep abreast of the rapid changes to applicable law and standards of care.
As New Mexico and other states pursue legalization of Psilocybin Therapy, Cvitanovic assists clients with tracking legislative developments and implementing regulatory compliance mechanisms to ensure the highest standards of patient care, according to the firm.
“I am truly inspired by the team at Rudick Law Group and their ability to reinvent what cannabis and psychedelic medicine law looks like through innovative practices and devoted client support,” said Cvitanovic in a news release. “Speaking as someone who has witnessed the devastating consequences of patient reliance on the illicit market in my time as a prosecutor, who has helped healthcare providers and businesses to comply with an ever-changing regulatory climate as a lawyer, and who has personally benefited from advances in psychedelic medicine as a patient, joining a group that’s so deeply committed to shaping the future of this industry and patient rights is an honor. I look forward to applying my skills in this evolutionary space.”
