Blockchain and Innovation

Ready and able to help our clients navigate the seas of new technology in a market in constant transformation. 


Dealing with innovative technologies is a challenge, especially when regulation usually trails behind technological changes and market expectations. Being able to count on the support of a legal team that has the depth of knowledge needed to solve problems in various areas of the law is essential to overcoming the legal challenges that accompany new business models.  

Our Blockchain and Innovation practice area is composed of highly-qualified practitioners who are ready to deal with the tough questions raised by technologies at the leading edge of innovation, such as the metaverse, NFTs, Web3, and others still to come.  

Our multidisciplinary, specialized team helps organizations that are focused on digital transformation and new technologies that can create synergies for their business. We offer strategic counselling, which allows us to work in partnership with our clients, understanding the different realities of their businesses and fostering innovation regardless of their size or stage in their digital journey.

Our team has an integrated vision and knowledge of the global regulatory scenario for cryptoassets, creation of DAOs, token issuances and other blockchain-based assets and systems. We follow legal developments around the world, so that we can assess their potential impact in Brazil and anticipate compliance requirements for local stakeholders. 


We provide support to clients in matters such as: 

  • Developing and structuring metaverse platforms, and participating in metaverse projects;

  • Assessing issuances and distribution of cryptoassets to identify risks of classification as securities;

  • Analyzing the tax aspects of projects envolving cryptoassets and DAOs;
