More about Harneys

Harneys’ award-winning digital assets team have been active in the space since 2015 and serve as trusted strategic advisors to over 100 web3 projects, from DeFi to Layer 1s and Layer 2s, dePIN, gaming, RWA protocols, NFT issuers, centralised and decentralised exchanges. Our client profile includes established projects in the Top 15 by market cap, nascent projects with strong growth potential, and everything in between.

Our dedicated digital assets lawyers focus exclusively on complex structuring, legal and regulatory analysis, corporate advice and commercial transactional support across our jurisdictions. Each project has its own operational, risk mitigation and commercial requirements. No two projects are the same and requirements constantly evolve, so we immerse ourselves in your project and needs and deliver bespoke solutions to realise your vision while keeping you abreast of developments in a legal and regulatory landscape that changes almost daily.

The digital assets team is backed by deeply-experienced funds lawyers who form and launch investment funds and asset managers, regulatory lawyers well-versed in making successful regulatory applications and guiding you through the process, and a litigation team with a proven track record in dispute resolution generally, DAO claims, digital asset tracing and recovery.

As trusted strategic advisors, the Harneys team work hand-in-hand with founders, project teams, developers, key community members and other service providers to ensure all aspects of a web3 project are considered and suitably advised. Constantly innovating and commercially astute, we deliver practical outcomes that in some cases define the approaches adopted by other projects.

With our time in the market, we are comfortable acting as lead counsel in many cases, and introduce clients to other advisors and service providers at the right time for your project’s growth and requirements so there are no gaps in coverage. We also work closely with governments and regulators to contribute to laws and regulations affecting digital assets in the jurisdictions we service.
