Lewis Rinaudo Cohen, who is widely regarded as one of the leading crypto native lawyers and thought leaders in the world, is the Co-Chair of CahillNXT, Cahill’s globally recognized Digital Assets and Emerging Technology practice. Clients interviewed by Chambers — where Lewis has consistently been ranked for years as among the top “Band 1” blockchain lawyers in the United States — have described Lewis as a “legend in the blockchain legal sector.” Lewis helps clients successfully navigate their most challenging transactions and regulatory compliance matters involving bleeding edge uses of blockchain technology, crypto assets, and tokenization across all aspects of the capital markets. His work frequently involves transformational cross-border fundraisings and deals across a wide array of global economic activities. With the emergence of distributed ledger technology in 2009, Lewis, early on, identified the important role this technology would play across not only the financial markets, but virtually all aspects of the commercial landscape. He then quickly dedicated himself to advising clients in this vital area. Lewis regularly represents a wide range of high-profile blockchain development companies, foundations supporting major blockchain protocol communities, and a range of Tier 1 marketplace operators, trading firms, and other intermediaries active in the crypto asset space, with a particular focus on the complex work of structuring and launching new blockchain protocols, networks, and related crypto assets.
