I advise on crypto, digital assets & AI at international law firm CMS UK. I focus on crypto crime, specifically identifying risks, mitigating risks, scams, mis- and disinformation, surveillance, and what can go wrong (and how to avoid that). We've built a team of crypto-native lawyers focused on incorporation, regulation, restructuring and litigation in London, the wider UK, and Dubai. We recruited most of them from in-house in crypto companies, which means they know what the industry needs.
