Compliance beyond cannabis

Cannabis compliance is the core practice

CCM is a cannabis regulatory compliance consultancy first. The bulk of our work is helping California operators get licensed, stay audit-ready, and correct issues before they become violations, across DCC licensing, METRC track-and-trace, SOPs, and local authorization. The pages elsewhere on this site cover that work in depth. The adjacent capabilities described below exist because the underlying skill is the same. Regulatory compliance consulting in California, whatever the sector, comes down to knowing which rules apply, translating them into a concrete plan a project can follow, and keeping the paper trail that proves it. We take on non-cannabis engagements selectively, where that skill is a genuine fit, and we are clear with every client about where our role starts and stops.

Adjacent capabilities we take on

These engagements share the same method as our cannabis work: a clear read of the applicable framework, a mapped set of requirements, and the documentation and procedures that keep the project defensible. We scope each one to the specific rules and approvals a project faces rather than applying a generic checklist.

• Construction projects: permit and code-compliance tracking, contractor and subcontractor documentation, and inspection-readiness support so approvals and records stay in order as a build moves through its phases.
• Real estate development: entitlement and land-use compliance support, including CEQA review coordination, conditional use permits, and the local authorization steps a site needs before and during development.
• Operational licensing compliance: helping a business identify, obtain, and maintain the state and local operating licenses and permits its activity requires, and keeping renewals and reporting current so nothing lapses.
• Public-sector and civic projects: procedural and documentation support for projects that answer to public agencies, including public-notice and hearing requirements, recordkeeping, and coordination with the relevant jurisdiction.

Where our role starts and stops

CCM is a compliance consultancy, not a law firm, and we do not provide legal representation or advice in any sector. Our work is procedural and documentary: building the records, permits, procedures, and readiness that keep a project in good standing. Where a matter calls for legal judgment, an appeal, or representation before an agency, that belongs to your attorney, and we are glad to work alongside them. If you have a construction, real estate, operational-licensing, or public-sector project and want to know whether our approach fits, book a compliance consult. Tell us the project, the jurisdiction, and where you are in the process, and we will give you a straight read on how we can help and where you will need counsel instead.
