November 20, 2025
Law.com/Corporate Counsel featured commentary from Of Counsel Alissa “Ali” Jubelirer in its coverage of how hemp-industry companies are responding to the recently enacted federal ban affecting certain hemp-derived beverages and products.
In the article, Jubelirer noted the significant operational and supply-chain implications companies must consider: “These companies need to think about where they are manufacturing and their distribution relationships, and start to think about what those relationships might be if they weren’t able to cross state lines with their beverages.
Her perspective highlights the immediate need for companies in the hemp-derived beverage and wellness sectors to reassess manufacturing footprints, distribution models, and regulatory exposure as federal and state rules continue to evolve.
