Cannabis Experience
- The partnership was established in 2023 by Gordian, Josh Ginsberg, and Julian Michalowski.

Experience at the Intersection of Cannabis and Distressed Situations
- The cannabis industry faces significant opportunities and risks. Tightening of the capital markets has resulted in lower stock market capitalizations and decreased access to funding. The plethora of competitors is likely going to result in significant industry consolidation.
- Yet, emerging from this will be a leaner, more competitive group of companies. Gordian Group – through its decades of restructuring and consolidation experience – can help facilitate this transition.
