The analysis of this evolving area is approached through an interdisciplinary lens that provides a holistic view of how emerging advances in Fintech law interact within new and existing legal frameworks.

The second edition examines a broad range of topics, including securities issues, tax considerations, business structuring, proceeds of crime and anti-money laundering, smart contracts, fundraising and social causes, security issues for cryptographic assets wallets, insolvency law and risk management for lawyers. Readers will benefit from:
