Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

With the advent of Web3, the legal industry is making leaps and bounds into the future with a focus on new-age business models. Cryptocurrency and blockchain are fast evolving as powerful, decentralized alternatives to the dominant fiat system of money and banking and have the potential to change the way we interact with financial systems. In addition, blockchain technology revolutionizes art and entertainment/gaming with NFTs and the metaverse.

Blockchain technology has revolutionized the way we conceptualize, sign and store contracts to new modes of exchange and asset classes. Many early-stage and established companies are integrating blockchain technology into their day-to-day functioning with substantial reliance on it to increase overall efficiency and effectiveness to achieve business goals. Our cross-border expertise coupled with our geographic footprint in the start-up/emerging company and PE/VC sector, and our depth of experience allows us to offer holistic services to help our clients capitalize on opportunities and meet the ever-evolving challenges of this industry.

Our global team is efficient in advising investors (angel investors and institutional investors) as well as startup/emerging companies throughout this complex process in this fast-growing space, where we play a pivotal role in developing new commercial frameworks relating to Blockchain technology and its many use cases. As this technology evolves, we are prepared to assist companies in navigating through an array of legal and regulatory issues to guide the businesses to the ultimate goal of value creation.

  • Cross border technology transactions, including company formation and financing
