Blockchain & digital assets lawyer joins London firm

London law firm Lawrence Stephens has announced the appointment of director Matt Green as the firm’s head of technology disputes and head of blockchain and digital assets.

Matt has experience in crypto asset recoveries, complex litigation involving blockchain technology and intellectual property. He worked on AA v Persons Unknown [2019] EWHC 3556 (Comm), which confirmed that crypto assets are property at common law, and since then he has led on high-profile cases involving blockchain.

Steven Bernstein, managing director and co-founder of Lawrence Stephens, said: ‘We are all very excited for Matt to join the team. His industry-leading expertise in blockchain technology and disputes in this sector adds an exciting dimension to our existing crypto and disputes offerings.’

Matt said: ‘I am hugely excited to be joining Lawrence Stephens, a firm that really understands the glaring value of emerging technology for clients across the board, and that innovation without barriers is the determining factor in helping those who need specialist advice.’
