The new Digital Currency and Blockchain collection is now live on LexisNexis Practical Guidance, offering a comprehensive and practical resource set for professionals advising on digital‑asset matters. Developed by Funds & Financial Services Partner Jaime Lumsden and Senior Associate Nicholas Pavouris, the collection brings together more than 50 articles, guides and checklists designed to support practitioners working within an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving regulatory and commercial environment.
Jaime and Nicholas were supported in the preparation of this module by contributions from:
- Seema Sandhu – Partner and Crystal Xu – Lawyer (Tax)
- Sophie Bradshaw – Partner and Adam Rose – Senior Associate (Privacy)
- Jo Ruitenberg – Partner and Alexandra Meissner – Lawyer (Corporate)
- Sonia Cruz – Head of Licensing, Chris Deeble – Special Counsel, Claudia Silano-Malouf – Senior Associate, Ruth Fesseha – Lawyer, Katie Morrison – Graduate, Abina Kirubaharan – Graduate (Financial Services).
This collection addresses the full ecosystem of digital‑asset activity, providing both foundational knowledge and detailed, step‑by‑step guidance. Content spans key operational, regulatory and advisory issues, including the enhanced regulatory sandbox, AML/CTF considerations, privacy and taxation implications, and the regulatory expectations surrounding digital‑asset offerings and related financial services activity.
In addition to regulatory and compliance topics, the collection provides extensive practical guidance for professionals who require clarity on the day‑to‑day mechanics of digital‑asset interactions. This includes how to create and manage digital wallets, how to set up a crypto‑exchange account, the process for buying or selling cryptocurrency tokens, and the steps involved in buying, selling, sending and receiving NFTs. Guidance on staking activities and other emerging digital‑asset practices helps practitioners stay aligned with current market developments.
These materials deliver clear, actionable and practice‑ready support for legal, compliance and advisory professionals. Whether assisting with client transactions, navigating regulatory requirements or building foundational expertise, the collection serves as a reliable and authoritative reference point.
