Alberts Named on NLJ's Cryptocurrency, Blockchain and FinTech Trailblazer List
Partner Jeff Alberts, head of the firm's FinTech practice, was recently named to the National Law Journal's inaugural Cryptocurrency, Blockchain and FinTech Trailblazers list for 2018. The list, which highlights a handful of practitioners who have "truly moved the needle" in new technologies and digital currencies, mentioned Jeff's work in the initial public sale of ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world behind Bitcoin.
The NLJ also mentioned Jeff's work in co-authoring a law review article named "Is Bitcoin a Security?," where he concluded that bitcoin was not subject to security regulation under U.S. law- a position that the SEC recently concluded as well.
