The Corporate Counsel Show: The hemp industry, the pandemic and educating Australians

Teresa Cleary has had a rich and diverse legal career to date, and now with one year’s experience in a leading global hemp business under her belt, she is excited about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in a post-pandemic world.

In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Elixinol global general counsel and company secretary Teresa Cleary to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the hemp industry, stigmas that still remain about such alternative healthcare remedies, and how the age of coronavirus opens a window through which legal departments such as hers can better educate society about their products and services.

Additionally, the pair talk about Australia’s uptake of medicinal cannabis and related remedies relative to the rest of the world and the duties of corporate counsel in this industry to push their companies forward.
