We help clients understand the legal implications of decentralized technologies, ensuring their smart contracts are enforceable and compliant with applicable laws.
Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and Token Sales

We guide clients through the registration process, exemptions, and investor disclosures to ensure regulatory compliance.
Cryptocurrency Taxation and Reporting
The IRS has established guidelines for the taxation of cryptocurrency transactions, making compliance a critical issue for businesses and investors. Our firm provides legal counsel on tax reporting obligations, capital gains taxation, and strategies for minimizing tax liabilities related to crypto holdings.
