Erika Gee returned to practicing private law after spending eight years working for the office of the Arkansas Attorney General. She uses what she learned from her executive background to now represent businesses and individuals who are regulated by the state government, which is how she became involved in Arkansas’s cannabis industry. “Even though it was an industry new to Arkansas after the passage of Amendment 98, representing clients in the cannabis business fits squarely into my practice and experience … it has been really interesting to learn the nuts and bolts of this industry over the last eight years.” Gee is an attorney and partner at Wright Lindsey Jennings, one of Arkansas’s largest and oldest firms, where she leads the Cannabis and Industrial Hemp team and participates in the Government Practice group.
