In 2016, Joseph Segilia turned over a new leaf in his decades-long legal career when he moved in-house for the first time as general counsel of Terra Tech Corp.

Segilia transitioned from boutique firm Robinson Brog Leinwand Greene Genovese & Gluck into a role as GC of the company, whose subsidiaries cultivate and distribute medical cannabis. He  built a legal department from scratch at Irvine, California-based Terra Tech and in the process, learned to navigate evolving cannabis regulations, including emerging California state rules around the sale of recreational cannabis.
