Digital Assets and Tokenized Securities are Transforming Law Practices
Distributed ledger and blockchain technology has clearly upended traditional corporate and securities law practices. The emergent technology is presenting challenges and new opportunities for law firms to define new practice areas and subject matter competencies.
Meeting the Challenges of Emerging Practices
Corporate Law
The emergence of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and token-based governance is creating new challenges for law firms. Jurisdictions are considering and adopting new laws for organization formation and governance that enable new methods of management.
How do law firms ensure they are advising their clients to pursue a sensible, rule-based approach to their digital transformation?
Securities
Tokenization of securities is a fundamental shift in transforming an entity’s ownership into complex, programmable instruments. Gone are the days of simple cap table management tools like spreadsheets or online databases.
How do securities law practices ensure their clients are maintaining regulatory compliance while leveraging the power of these new tools?
Compliance
The recent cryptocurrency era has brought a lot of confusion. The same underlying technology can be implemented in ways that violate laws, or conform to law and bring efficiencies never seen.
How does counsel ensure their clients are building in a regulatory compliant manner, and abating risks inherent to the rule-making climate?
What considerations must be made in proving compliance to regulators when dealing with programmable securities and corporate governance?
Litigation
Nobody wants to end up in civil or even criminal court. However, our judiciary provides for a due process to resolve disputes. An already complex process becomes even more confusing when considering the intricacies of the new technology.
How do law firms ensure a consistency with existing process for interpreting information in a meaningful way, and adhering to pre-trial discovery and records holds for decentralized data and information?

Embedded Compliance
Our technology and tools ensure that compliance and reporting rules are maintained across digital networks. The automation of compliance represents a powerful shift in efficiency for corporate law, securities, and financial operations or compliance practices.
Blockchain Records
Our approach to embedding traditional records into blockchain smart contracts or tokens ensures the accessibility and provability of any associated document or metadata.
This is extremely important when attempting to attach provability of any claim to a hash value or token on a blockchain. It is also an essential advancement forward for the legal industry’s ability to provide comprehensive solutions to their clients.
Electronic Discovery for Blockchain
As more things become automated via distributed ledgers and blockchain, human readable, efficient categorization of discoverable metadata records will automate internal controls, audits, and forensic analysis.
Pretrial discovery and research under Federal Civil Rules of Procedure means legal and compliance teams must be able to access and interpret data in a meaningful way.
With the ever-increasing scrutiny of regulators, as well as the inevitability of any business or financial transaction becoming subject to a matter, we provide the link to traditional models for pre-trial discovery and analysis of records, even conforming to the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) and records hold requirements.
This gives legal practitioners great confidence that while the technology is advancing, it is still in alignment with current practice standards.
