Blockchain

Pioneers in DLT infrastructure and novel blockchain applications rely on Linklaters throughout the evaluation, development and execution phase of their solutions.

We understand the design and architecture of the most widely known blockchain platforms, from Ethereum and Hyperledger to Corda and several more. We have established a blockchain and smart contracts unit to focus on these technologies and their legal and regulatory impact, and are supporting clients to develop bespoke automation, efficiency and cost savings solutions.

As the sophistication of the use of blockchain products in the financial markets infrastructure increases, we are working with clients on the development, issuing and trading of pioneering financial products such as blockchain bonds. We also have expertise in blockchain related products and systems beyond financial services to a wide range of sectors including energy, health, insurance, mining and telecoms.
