Digital Assets & Blockchain Transactions

Corporate and transactional counsel for digital asset and blockchain businesses, connecting investments, acquisitions, technology agreements, diligence, and transaction-specific regulatory coordination.

Investments and acquisitions

Digital asset businesses bring together corporate ownership, token-related rights, intellectual property, contractual obligations, and operational dependencies. Transaction documents should distinguish these interests rather than treat them as interchangeable assets.

  • Equity investments, acquisition structures, and governance arrangements
  • Diligence on token commitments, asset control, IP ownership, and material contracts
  • Representations, disclosures, closing conditions, and post-closing responsibilities

Technology and commercial agreements

Blockchain-related development, licensing, and service arrangements require clear allocation of deliverables, intellectual-property rights, operational control, and contractual responsibility.

  • Software and protocol development, milestones, and acceptance
  • Technology licenses, platform integrations, and strategic collaborations
  • Security responsibilities, third-party dependencies, liability, and exit terms

Token-related structuring and regulatory coordination

Token-related arrangements require a fact-specific review of the rights offered, transaction economics, distribution plans, and applicable law. A product label or technical design alone does not determine its legal treatment.

  • Transaction-specific securities-law considerations and disclosure planning
  • Identification of licensing, custody, AML, sanctions, and other specialist issues
  • Coordination of specialist and non-U.S. advice with transaction documents and timing

A transaction-focused scope

This capability extends the Firm’s corporate, financing, M&A, and technology work; it is not a full-service crypto regulatory, litigation, or tax practice. Exchange and money-transmission licensing, specialized custody and commodities regulation, AML and sanctions, tax, disputes, and non-U.S. law require appropriately qualified specialists. The scope of each engagement is confirmed separately.
