  • Familiarity with the crypto industry, including types of tokens, token governance, DAOs, blockchain foundations, and decentralized organizations is strongly preferred.
  • Experience in commercial litigation or dispute resolution is a plus.
  • A willingness to learn about other areas of law and business quickly.
  • Proven ability to understand the broader picture and commercial strategy; adept at grasping new functional areas with a cross-functional mindset.
  • A strong interest in algorithmic trading and decentralized finance.
  • Detail-oriented, with a focus on delivering client-centric solutions to legal and business challenges.
