Services
Murphy’s Law is a litigation-focused crypto law firm built for the cases other firms are not equipped to handle. From individual investors who lost funds in a platform collapse to companies navigating regulatory scrutiny, we bring the kind of strategic, aggressive legal work that crypto-related disputes demand. Our practice sits at the intersection of financial litigation, blockchain technology, and federal regulatory enforcement. Whether you need a crypto fraud lawyer to recover stolen assets or outside counsel to advise on compliance, we approach every engagement with the same objective: protect your interests and get results.
Crypto Fraud Recovery and Platform-Liability Litigation
We represent individuals and groups who have lost digital assets due to exchange failures, wallet exploits, rug pulls, and platform-level security breakdowns. Our cryptocurrency litigation practice builds claims grounded in negligence, fraud, deceptive trade practices, and violations of federal commodities law. We pursue recovery through federal complaints, temporary restraining orders, and coordination with law enforcement.
Class Actions and Complex Plaintiff-Side Matters
When widespread harm affects dozens or hundreds of investors, we evaluate and pursue class action and multi-plaintiff litigation against the platforms, protocols, and individuals responsible. We handle class certification strategy, multi-district coordination, and large plaintiff group management in federal court.
Defense-Side Fraud Response and Risk Mitigation
We represent crypto businesses and executives facing fraud allegations, regulatory inquiries, or civil claims. Our defense work focuses on assessing exposure quickly, preserving evidence, challenging overreaching claims, and positioning clients for early resolution when the facts support it.
Crypto-Related Bankruptcy and Insolvency Disputes
We represent individual and institutional creditors in crypto insolvency matters, including filing proofs of claim, objecting to proposed plans, and litigating adversary proceedings against insiders and preferential transferees. Navigating the claims process without experienced counsel often means leaving money on the table.
Dispositive Motions and Appellate-Level Briefing
We draft and argue motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and motions for preliminary injunctive relief in complex litigation matters. For cases requiring appellate review, we handle appeals in federal circuit courts. Other attorneys and firms also retain us as briefing counsel when a case demands specialized crypto-related legal expertise.
Legal Opinions on Novel and Unsettled Crypto Issues
We draft formal legal opinion letters addressing token classification, securities law exposure, money transmission risk, and regulatory applicability. These opinions support business decisions, satisfy investor due diligence, and establish good-faith compliance positions in the event of future enforcement action.
Blockchain Investigations and Forensic Analytics
Our blockchain investigations practice combines legal strategy with forensic analytics to trace stolen or misappropriated digital assets across wallets, mixers, and exchanges. We work with industry-leading tracing tools and coordinate with federal law enforcement when criminal referrals strengthen the path to recovery.
Crypto Compliance and Regulatory Advisory Work
We advise crypto companies on registration obligations, AML/KYC program development, licensing requirements, and ongoing regulatory reporting. Our crypto compliance practice helps businesses build defensible programs before enforcement actions arrive. For companies already under investigation, we provide guidance on responding to subpoenas, document requests, and examination inquiries.
Fractional General Counsel Services
We serve as outside general counsel for startups, DAOs, and growing crypto businesses that need consistent legal guidance without the overhead of an in-house hire. This includes contract review, corporate governance, employment matters, vendor negotiations, and day-to-day legal decision-making.
White-Collar Criminal Defense
We represent individuals and executives facing white-collar criminal defense matters involving allegations of wire fraud, money laundering, market manipulation, and sanctions violations tied to digital assets. Early intervention is critical. We work to protect our clients’ rights from the moment an investigation surfaces, whether that means negotiating with prosecutors, challenging search warrants, or preparing for trial.
If you are facing a crypto-related legal matter, whether as an individual investor, a business, or a target of a government investigation, we are ready to evaluate your situation. Contact Murphy’s Law for a consultation.
