Sean Badgley

I am an attorney with over ten years of experience advising businesses in complex regulatory and economic environments. My practice is centered around business transactions, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, and administrative regulatory matters. I have worked extensively with both startups and established businesses, assisting them in navigating legal frameworks and achieving their strategic goals. I began my legal career in Washington State's cannabis industry in 2013, where I played a key role in interpreting emerging cannabis laws and advocating for regulatory developments through administrative channels. My experience in regulated industries is not limited to cannabis; I also provide companies with guidance on compliance, governance, and business operations. Before joining Structure Law Group, I founded and led a boutique business law firm in downtown Seattle, where I oversaw a team of attorneys handling a diverse range of corporate and regulatory matters. I earned my J.D. from Seattle University School of Law in 2014, where I was a member of the Cannabis Law Society. I have represented some of Washington's most high-value cannabis retailers, assisting with general counsel matters, employment issues, and mergers and acquisitions. My pro bono work includes advocacy litigation against city governments and the State of Washington. Originally from Colorado, I earned my B.A. in Business Economics from the University of Colorado in 2007, with an interdisciplinary focus on business studies. Outside of my legal practice, I enjoy playing video games and TTRPGs, cooking, and reading historical non-fiction. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my wife, daughter, and two dachshund-mix dogs, who occasionally convince me to explore the PNW's scenic hiking trails.
