Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

Our lawyers have represented over 200 blockchain companies, from small DAOs to the largest token issuers and networks in the world.

We provide legal services from equity financings (inc. Token Warrants) to Token Purchase Agreements to Liquid Staking Agreements. And because Terms of Service are where many crypto products are exposed, we do deep, product-specific analysis to get your ToS, Privacy Policy, and sales agreements right.

§ 01 — Overview

Your contracts shouldn't slow down your business

Stalled contracts can hold businesses up for weeks. We move at lightning speed: send the contract over Slack, email, or the portal, get a flat-fee quote, and have a marked-up draft back within hours.

Our team has worked on hundreds of commercial contracts for companies of all sizes. They pair their expert judgment with AI that reads every clause so the review you get is faster and higher quality.
