Digital Assets, Cryptocurrency & Blockchain

More and more business leaders are adopting blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. Our technology team assists clients facing legal and regulatory considerations that arise from the use of virtual currencies and distributed ledger technologies. The constant introduction of new technologies, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), is creating media and investor interest, as well as a host of novel legal and regulatory issues.

Our lawyers advise start-ups and established entities, including Fortune 500 companies, investment management firms, broker-dealers, government agencies, blockchain technology companies, money transmitters and financial institutions.

Notably, tax advice on blockchain and cryptocurrency matters has never been more critical.
