ABOUT SLATES VEAZEY

I am a member of the Construction and Procurement, Co-Chair of Bradley\'s Cannabis and Hemp team, Policyholder Insurance Coverage, and Litigation Teams at Bradley. I represent clients in all types of litigation, with a particular emphasis on construction and insurance coverage disputes. My construction practice involves representing owners and general contractors in a variety of issues and projects, both public and private. I am licensed in both Texas and Mississippi, and have experience managing construction disputes across the United States, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas. This experience includes prosecuting and defending delay, extra work, impact, and inefficiency claims on public and private jobs, as well as defending general contractors in multi-party disputes arising from the construction of condominium and/or other multi-family residential buildings. I also have significant experience pursuing insurance coverage for contractor clients when their insurers deny them coverage.I also counsel clients regarding the ever-evolving legal status of cannabis in the United States. In this role, I have advised financial institutions and insurance providers on how to effectively and efficiently comply with various regulatory obligations. I also counsel clients on the interplay between the Controlled Substances Act and the provision of services (financial and otherwise) to cannabis companies that operate in states that have legalized cannabis under state law. I have also been closely monitoring Mississippi’s path to adopting a medical cannabis program and have been advising individuals and companies wanting to enter this new industry in light of the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act.
