Yes, but according to this it was OWC who supplied the disbarred lawyer.

Reading through the SEC charges against Friedland OWCP is implicated in several paragraphs:(black hilites mine)

32. Pursuant to the compensation terms of the Global PR/IR Agreement, OWC transferred 5,134,375 OWC shares to Global on February 5, 2016. OWC provided an attorney opinion letter to OWC’s transfer agent from a disbarred attorney in connection with the issuance of OWC’s stock to Global. OWC disclosed in reports it filed with the SEC in February 2016 that Global owned these shares of stock – 6.3% of OWC’s common stock at that time – and that Friedland controlled them as Global’s President and CEO, but neither OWC, Friedland, nor Global made any disclosure as to how the shares were acquired by Global.

37. On November 18, 2016, OWC issued a press release via PR Newswire announcing “OWC Pharmaceutical Research Advisory Board Member to Participate in the First Bloomberg Intelligence Sponsored Cannabis Event.” The press release quoted Friedland, “There are many cannabis companies that are publicly-traded, from GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH) to
smaller public companies such as OWC, which Intiva invested in during the summer of 2014….I joined the Company’s advisory board earlier this year.” The release continues, “Subject to his schedule, Mr. Friedland may be available to meet privately with OWC shareholders to discuss his view of OWC’s future.” Nowhere in OWC’s press release did Friedland or OWC disclose that he and Global had just been hired to handle OWC’s media and investor relations in the United States and been paid more than 5.1 million shares of OWC stock to do so.
