Offering a Comprehensive Suite of Dispute-Resolution Services

KSTechLaw attorneys provide dispute-resolution services that are tailored to each client’s circumstances and sensitive to his or her ongoing business needs and goals. We have built our blockchain-related dispute resolution practice on our extensive experience in complex business litigation, as well as blockchain and crypto compliance. We know how blockchain businesses work from the inside. We have negotiated and closed numerous transactions involving crypto, drafted and reviewed governance documents and agreements involving partnerships, corporations, and other entities in the blockchain industry.

To minimize the disruption to our clients’ businesses and lives caused by legal disputes, we assess and address the resolution of such conflicts diligently and expeditiously. We pursue our clients’ goals through all available legal tools, including negotiation and settlement, arbitration (including JAMS) and, if necessary, offensive and defensive litigation in state and federal courts, including New York State Supreme Court and federal court at the Southern District of New York (SDNY).
