About Us

OUR MISSION & VISION

Pursuing good through expert lawyering.

At Rogoway Law, we take pride in the work we do for each of our clients as well as in the larger social change that we’ve helped effectuate. We place great emphasis on the acquisition and retention of subject matter expertise which has been gained through many years of working on a variety of matters which have a regulatory nexus overlapping different practice areas.

We have earned our reputation as a go-to multidisciplinary firm for regulated substance industries with our deep regulatory expertise and an experienced team of powerful litigation, transactional, intellectual property, and regulatory attorneys.

While we work hard for our clients, we also make sure to set aside time meaningfully dedicated to social causes. Since our inception, we’ve worked on matters such as statewide ballot initiatives to legalize cannabis, litigation on behalf of families of disabled children, and local ordinances to expand cannabis permitting or reform outdated tax laws.

OUR HISTORY

WE'VE BEEN THERE , HELPING PAVE THE WAY.

Rogoway Law was founded in 2011. In the beginning, we were focused on litigating cases in courts across California, in the Court of Appeal, United States District Court, and as pro hac vice counsel in other states. At that time, we primarily helped patients, collectives, and caregivers fight to effectuate their rights. It was this initial trial work which first provided the firm with recognition and the opportunity to grow.

Our work to legalize cannabis began in 2009 with California’s Prop. 19 and includes 3 separate statewide initiatives to legalize cannabis through 2016.

Today, Rogoway Law’s practices have expanded beyond cannabis to include clients involved in wine and beverage, psychedelics, hemp, technology, and hospitality industries as well. This is all while our dedication to using our practice as a vehicle to do good is stronger than ever.
