David Lopez-Kurtz

David Lopez-Kurtz is a widely-recognized legal authority in emerging technology, particularly Web3, digital assets, blockchain technology, and artificial intelligence (AI).

He has been published by the National Law Review and Law360, as well as CoinDesk and other Web3-focused periodicals. In 2022, he was selected by the National Law Review as one of 75 exceptional “Go-To Thought Leadership Awards” recipients for his writings on Finance Law.
