Kaplan v. Davidson CA2/7
When Davidson and Kaplan met in 2016, they discussed potential business arrangements. Davidson is a medical doctor who specializes in cannabis. In 2017 Davidson and Kaplan entered into an agreement to create and distribute a brand of marijuana and hemp products called “‘Dr. D,’” using Davidson’s likeness. In 2017 Davidson loaned $350,000 to Kaplan’s business, Vertical Wellness. In January 2019, Davidson transferred the outstanding balance on his loans into equity in Vertical Wellness. But by June 2019 the relationship between Davidson and Kaplan had frayed.
