Blockchain and digital assets
Smart contracts, cryptocurrencies and other digital assets have enormous potential, but complex and rapidly evolving laws remain a challenge.
Our blockchain lawyers combine comprehensive technical knowledge with the expertise and experience of a leading commercial law firm. We're one of the few Australian law firms with the expertise to help businesses realise the potential of blockchain and distributed ledger technology.

- technology founders and startups

- established Australian companies launching blockchain projects
Transcending industries and use cases
Distributed ledger technology is solving real-world problems ranging from copyright protection and payment security, to retail supply chain compliance. We provide comprehensive, plain-English legal advice for businesses seeking to explore or implement blockchain-based solutions including the following:
- smart legal contracts
- retail supply chain and logistics
- financial products and cryptocurrencies including crypro recovery
- real estate and property
- data sharing and storage

Leading experts in smart contracts
Distributed ledger technology creates the ability to make legal contracts programmable and machine readable. Automating parts of the contracting process has great potential but comes with technological and legal challenges. Two of our lawyers and one board member sit on the Standards Australia Smart Contracts Working Group, helping to establish universal smart legal contract standards for the International Standards Organisation.
