About Blockchain and Crypto Experts in the UK

Our team of specialist lawyers are at the forefront of this sector, helping clients to develop and commercialise innovative ideas and products in this area. We regularly advise on crypto and blockchain innovation projects, ICOs, stable coins and NFTs as well as broader developments within the decentralized finance (‘DeFi’) ecosystem.

We also help to clear up confusion around the legal status of crypto assets. Currently, some of them are regarded as financial instruments and, as such, may be subject to sales regulations, including the Financial Promotions Regulations and the Prospectus Rules, depending on their characteristics.

We are involved in a number of TechSprint events, which bring together market participants and regulators to collaborate on solutions to specific industry challenges. We ran a CryptoSprint event in 2022 to explore potential UK policy solutions for the regulation of cryptoassets. The outcomes from this and other events will inform future regulation.
