Web 3.0
Web3, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, NFTs and the Metaverse
Web3, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, NFTs and the Metaverse comprise a landscape that is loosely defined and largely unregulated. When navigating territories like these, it is crucial to be guided by experienced practitioners. Louis Lehot and his team at Foley & Lardner have the foresight, facility, and boots-on-the-ground experience to lead clients safely through.
Louis and his cohorts work with exchanges, regulatory bodies, investors, and innovators, providing counsel on the following and more:
- Correct treatment and regulatory classification of proposed goods and services.
- Analysis, development, and regulatory strategies to prevent and resolve issues of ambiguity as well as advice and representation in interactions with regulators (SEC, CFTC, FINRA, others).
- Bringing products such as blockchain-enabled trading to market and counseling on other crypto and blockchain products and regulated markets.
- Advice and representation on laws and regulations in the blockchain sector beyond securities and commodities laws.
- Guidance regarding the optimal corporate form, including counsel on restructuring when applicable, to circumvent pitfalls while maximizing present value.
- Ensuring that clients avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others—and protect their own property—as they produce NFTs, construct marketplaces, and operate in the Metaverse.
