Winston Blunts Earnout Payment
Following a bench trial in Fall 2024, a New York trial court ruled in March 2025 that Cresco Labs, Inc. was not required to pay a US$45M earnout under a merger agreement. The court found that Cresco did not receive “commercially reasonable access” to New York’s adult-use cannabis market, which was supposed to be subject only to a non-competitive application or approval process. Adopting Cresco’s arguments, the court determined that only the Office of Cannabis Management and Cannabis Control Board could decide when and how applicants access the adult-use market. The court agreed that regulators required Cresco to pay a significant one-time fee, prioritized other applicants, and had broad discretion over approvals. This win supports claims that New York’s adult-use program lacks details and clear entry paths, frustrating industry leaders’ efforts to develop a robust adult-use market.

Cari Stinebower Discusses Legal Challenges for U.S. Energy Investment in Venezuela with Law360
Winston & Strawn partner Cari Stinebower was quoted in a Law360 article discussing the legal and regulatory hurdles U.S. oil and gas companies now face when considering new investments in Venezuela amid recent political changes. Cari explained that with extensive U.S. sanctions against the Venezuelan government and state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) still in place, few companies will risk doing business until those sanctions are relaxed—either through general or specific licenses issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or by executive orders that lift the restrictions.

What Is the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)?
The Federal Acquisition Regulation, commonly referred to as “FAR,” is a collection of regulations governing the process by which the federal government purchases products, supplies, and services. The FAR consists of 53 parts, each covering a different aspect of the government procurement process. FAR part 52, for example, provides solicitation provisions and clauses that can (and in some instances must) be inserted into contracts with the government. While the FAR applies to all executive agencies, many agencies, such as the Departments of Defense, State, and Veterans Affairs, have issued their own supplements to the FAR which provide regulatory guidance on contracting issues that are unique to them.
