Digital Assets
We are one of the only legal teams in our footprint with substantive experience helping scores of token developers and investors, as well as those building the infrastructure of decentralized finance, to plan and execute legally sound ICOs, STOs, and other digital asset transactions. Our attorneys represent some of the best-known names in the industry and have consistently been at the forefront of emerging blockchain applications in health care, manufacturing, and real estate.
We work with companies actively deploying blockchain solutions to remedy real-world problems and other clients who are utilizing digital currencies and initial coin offerings as part of their funding and growth strategies. We also advise exchanges, decentralized application (DAPP) providers and crypto investors on the regulatory and tax implications of digital asset transactions of varying size, complexity, and jurisdiction. Where necessary, we communicate with state and federal regulators and defend our clients in enforcement matters before the SEC, CFTC, and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
