For its article “Crypto Industry Sees Surge in Lawsuits as Investor Losses Pile Up,” The Wall Street Journal quoted Akin Gump white collar defense and government investigations partner Ian McGinley on the growing number of lawsuits related to cryptocurrency.
The article notes that, as lawsuits increase in number, law firms doing defense work are seeing increased demand from crypto companies and trading platforms wanting to avoid regulatory scrutiny and legal liability.
McGinley said that these clients are eager for help in navigating “an atmosphere where the rules are not particularly clear.”
