About Us
Lawyers who understand the nuances of blockchain technology
Our Vision
The spectrum between code and law has always been a contested one, with sharp perspectives existing on both ends. On this terrain we stand in the middle. We see blockchains as providing a much-needed economic infrastructure for the internet, i.e., as a public resource which must remain openly and collectively governed. Law is, for us, a key mechanism for achieving this goal. Through consultation, advice and dialogue, Crypto Legal is committed to bridging existing gaps between innovators and regulators in ways which are mutually beneficial.
