Sullivan represents more than 100 blockchain clients, whose size varies from the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap and large enterprises, to smaller startups. We help our clients pursue and execute first-of-their-kind business ideas, which involve unseen regulatory uncertainty and have required us to think beyond traditional ways of practicing law.
We help clients navigate emerging legal issues and regulatory uncertainties, manage risk, identify opportunities and proactively plan for the future. With deep financial, regulatory and technological expertise, we ascertain the implications blockchain will have on our clients’ operations and prepare them to offer new services and products. Working with entrepreneurs, investors and established companies in a range of industries, we provide strategic guidance to help clients finance, develop and capitalize on the promises of blockchain technology while gaining a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Representative client work includes:
Also, we currently advise several clients on confidential projects involving the issuance of digital tokens that represent groups that have been limited to investments by high-net worth individuals through venture capital funds or hedge funds. With the advent of blockchain technology, Sullivan has helped design products that tokenize traditional asset classes and allow for investors worldwide to participate in the issuance and growth of asset-backed digital securities.
The practice group is led by Joel Telpner, a highly sought-after legal advisor in the blockchain space who works actively with clients structuring token distributions and enterprise blockchain applications.
