Shartsis Friese provides dynamic counsel in the innovative frontier of digital asset funds.
The Blockchain & Digital Asset Funds practice is built on momentum and vision. As investment in the digital-asset ecosystem accelerates, we offer sophisticated and dynamic experience to guide sponsors launching funds or vehicles focused on cryptocurrencies, tokenized infrastructures, crypto derivative products and other next generation assets. We combine traditional fund formation, regulatory and tax experience with deep awareness of the unique issues posed by digital asset strategies.
Whether structuring a Cayman-based fund trading digital assets; advising on custody and prime-brokerage arrangements; or working through SEC, CFTC or other agency considerations, we bring hands-on experience in emerging fund frameworks to navigate novel disclosures, digital custody concerns, intermediary risk, investor liquidity and governance questions.
Our counsel is grounded, proactive and tailored for sponsors committed to building sustainable investment platforms in the digital asset space. Our Tax group complements these efforts with expertise on the tax treatment of cryptocurrency transactions and extensive experience with representations of digital asset taxpayers working through IRS examinations and appeals.
