Cannabis law is a little different than most areas of practice. One day it’s a licensing issue. The next it’s an inspection, an enforcement action, or a criminal investigation. For husband-and-wife attorneys Kaimbri and Clay Curtis, that’s exactly where their practices intersect.
As the owner of CLIMB Collective, Kaimbri Curtis has built one of Oklahoma’s few law firms devoted exclusively to cannabis law. Her practice centers on administrative litigation and regulatory defense, representing licensed cannabis businesses before the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN). She also advises clients on licensing, regulatory compliance, business transactions, and the day-to-day legal challenges that come with operating in one of the nation’s most heavily regulated industries.
A graduate with honors from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, Kaimbri is the author of published scholarship on cannabis regulatory issues and has represented hundreds of cannabis businesses across Oklahoma.
“I’ve always loved administrative law because it’s where law, business, and problem-solving all intersect. Cannabis businesses don’t just need lawyers who know the rules. They need lawyers who understand how regulators think and how to solve problems before they become business-ending problems.”
That practical approach has become the foundation of CLIMB Collective. Whether she’s helping a startup obtain its first license or defending an established operator in an administrative enforcement action, Kaimbri believes good legal counsel should create solutions, not roadblocks. Her goal isn’t simply to win legal arguments. It’s to keep businesses operating so her clients can focus on what they do best.
While Kaimbri’s goal is to solve problems before they become something bigger, not every matter stays within the administrative process. That’s where Clay Curtis comes in.
As a partner at Overman Legal Group, Clay focuses his practice on criminal defense. When allegations escalate into criminal charges, he represents the business owners and individuals whose freedom is on the line.
His commitment to protecting the rights of the accused has earned him Oklahoma’s prestigious Clarence Darrow Award, one of the state’s highest honors in criminal defense advocacy. Whether negotiating with prosecutors or standing before a jury, Clay is known for thoughtful preparation, strategic advocacy, and an unwavering commitment to his clients.
The two often joke that there’s an easy way to avoid needing both of them.
“If you follow Kaimbri’s advice, you’ll never need Clay. But if you do, you’ll be glad he’s here.”
Fortunately, that’s true most of the time.
But when the government is coming after you, whether through a regulatory enforcement action, a criminal prosecution, or both, having experienced counsel on each front can make all the difference. Kaimbri and Clay have built practices that naturally complement one another, allowing clients to navigate both the administrative and criminal sides of a case with a coordinated strategy from attorneys who understand how those two worlds intersect.
Their philosophy is simple: don’t create problems where solutions exist—but when a client’s business or freedom is on the line, don’t back down either.
Fortunately, most clients only ever need one of them. But when they need both, they’re grateful they already know the team.
