Digital Assets and Web3
Digital assets are creating new opportunities for organisations, but also new regulatory, operational, and reputational challenges. Our specialist lawyers provide clear, commercially grounded advice to help you embrace innovation while managing the associated risks.
Overview
We help clients adopt and scale solutions built around blockchain, cryptocurrencies, tokenisation, and decentralised technologies. Bringing together expertise across commercial technology, financial services regulation, corporate, intellectual property, digital media, and data protection, we support projects from early-stage development through to commercialisation and deployment.
As technologies and regulatory expectations evolve, we help you understand what they mean for your organisation and how to respond. We advise on:
- Regulatory requirements relating to the promotion and trading of crypto-assets
- Peer-to-peer platforms, governance, security, and operational resilience
- Fundraising involving cryptocurrencies and other digital assets
- Licensing and commercialisation of intellectual property, including royalties
- Digital media and audio-visual content, including tokenisation
- Investment in digital asset businesses and related corporate advisory
- Anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements
- Engagement with regulatory authorities, including HMRC, the FCA, and other similar bodies
- Disputes involving crypto assets, including fraud and asset tracing
Our advice goes beyond regulatory compliance. We consider how digital assets fit within your wider commercial strategy, helping you structure, protect, and commercialise new products, platforms, and IP while managing the risks that come with emerging technologies. Through our international network, we can support projects that span multiple markets.
