Practice area:

As an early cryptocurrency adopter and believer in the promising utility of Bitcoin and of distributed ledger blockchain technology, Mr. Gutke is very enthusiastic about representing clients who are innovating, creating, and building in the emerging crypto/digital asset space. His passion for the decentralized web has led him to invest countless hours researching the technology, following the advances and experiments taking place in the space, engaging with online communities while educating and advising new entrants to the space, and of course keeping apprised of the ever-evolving regulatory and public policy issues surrounding the growing digital asset sector.

 

Our firm is well versed in regulatory and enforcement matters relating to digital assets. We have represented clients in federal enforcement actions brought by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), advised on issues related to Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) litigation and regulation, have advised founders of Non-Fungible Token (NFT) projects regarding regulatory and legal issues, and represented NFT artists and creatives with their legal needs. In addition, we have assisted clients building in this space with their typical business needs such as business entity formation, business/legal advising, contract negotiation and preparation, dispute resolution, and litigation. We have found that having a lawyer who is highly knowledgeable about the sometimes dizzying developments in the space--and who is personally invested in digital assets--is something our cryptocurrency clients truly appreciate.
