A Primer on "Crypto Litigation"
There are many lawyers promoting themselves as crypto lawyers these days. That includes litigation. But while the regulatory, transactional, compliance, and related non-litigation aspects of crypto lawyering are discussed and analyzed extensively, which makes good sense for a developing technology, the litigation side of crypto warrants attention too. This presentation will provide a broad overview of crypto litigation, including what it actually is, and perhaps more importantly, what it soon could be.
Tal J. Lifshitz is a partner in Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton’s complex litigation department and co-chair of the firm’s cryptocurrency, digital asset, and blockchain group. An experienced litigator and former federal judicial law clerk with federal jury trial experience, Tal is part of a team that handles “bet the company” cases and class actions.
He has represented a wide range of sophisticated corporate and individual clients, including investors in high-stakes business disputes, investment and securities frauds, and Ponzi scheme litigation. Since 2019 Tal has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star in the area of Class Actions/Mass Torts, and been invited to serve as a Faculty Member for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA), teaching multi-day trial and deposition technique programs using NITA’s hands-on, “learn-by-doing” method. Tal is also on the Executive Board for the South Florida Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, and will assume the role of President of the organization in 2022. He also serves as Co-Chair of the FBA Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Committee, as well as the Social Media Committee, and serves on the FBA National Younger Lawyers in Court Task Force.
