I am a corporate transactional lawyer primarily focused on representing technology companies and their investors, with a specific emphasis on blockchain and fintech. I have had the opportunity to work as both in-house legal counsel for a public company in the online media/entertainment space and as outside legal counsel for both private and public companies and venture capital and private equity firms. I currently serve as the co-chair of Goodwin's FinTech practice and its Digital Currency and Blockchain Technology practice, and advise fintech, blockchain and digital asset companies, investors and network participants with respect to digital asset transactions and platforms, blockchain technology matters (including establishing new blockchains and nodes), decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and related securities law and regulatory matters, including representing clients in their discussions with the SEC's Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology (FinHub). While I currently serve as outside legal counsel, my in-house experience has given me the perspective of what it actually means to be a client. I view my role as legal counsel as a business partner working with clients to reach their business and strategic goals while at the same time, managing and minimizing risk. Specialties: Corporate and securities law; public and private securities offerings; SEC reporting; mergers and acquisitions; digital media licensing and technology transactions; technology, life sciences, online media/entertainment companies; blockchain/digital currency; fintech

Valeria has been deeply embedded in the blockchain community from its earliest days. She joined Perkins Coie in 2016 as the lead corporate associate for the firm's Fintech industry group, focusing on supporting emerging blockchain and digital currency initiatives. Valeria's early involvement has afforded her a profound understanding of the evolution of legal and regulatory frameworks that continue to shape this dynamic field. In June 2021, Valeria shifted her focus entirely towards nurturing the growth of the blockchain ecosystem. As the Business Development Director at Perkins Coie, she leverages her unparalleled network and deep industry insights to foster strategic partnerships and support new entrants in navigating the complexities of the fintech landscape. Today, Valeria is pivotal in connecting decision-makers across the industry, including investors, venture capitalists, investment bankers, and top-level executives. Her goal is to facilitate meaningful collaborations that not only propel new companies to success but also strengthen the blockchain community as a whole.
