Blockchain and digital assets sit at a crossroads of finance, technology, and regulation that few law firms genuinely understand at the code level. Ours does. Our attorneys read smart contracts and understand how tokens, custody, and consensus actually work, which means we can give blockchain companies, exchanges, and digital asset projects advice grounded in how the technology behaves, not just how a regulator describes it.
Regulatory Compliance
Digital asset regulation is unsettled and overlapping, and the wrong assumption can be expensive. We advise on where your activity falls under SEC and CFTC frameworks, when state money transmission licensing applies, and how to build AML and KYC programs that satisfy examiners. For projects with global users, we help reconcile US obligations with the international rules that reach your customers, and we run securities-law analysis on the tokens at the center of it all.
Token Offerings and Fundraising
How you raise capital determines how much regulatory exposure you carry. We structure token offerings to fit the path that matches your goals, whether that is a security token offering, a utility token sale, a SAFT or similar investment instrument, or a Regulation D or Regulation S placement. We document each round so the legal characterization of your token is deliberate and defensible rather than something you reverse-engineer under pressure later.
NFTs and Digital Collectibles
An NFT is a token, not a transfer of copyright, and that gap creates real legal risk. We sort out exactly what IP rights a buyer receives, draft licensing terms that match what you intend to sell, and build creator royalty structures that hold up off-platform. We also write marketplace terms and policies and address the consumer protection questions that increasingly surround digital collectibles and the platforms that trade them.
