Key Strengths

Holland & Knight distinguishes itself through several key advantages. The firm pioneered service by non-fungible token (NFT) in 2022, becoming the first legal team in the world to serve a defendant legal notice by airdropping an NFT to their blockchain address. The team includes former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement supervisors involved in the earliest enforcement actions involving bitcoin and digital assets.

The firm has developed proprietary blockchain-based processes for verification and distribution in receivership and Fair Fund matters, demonstrating technical capability beyond traditional legal services. With a bipartisan Public Policy & Regulation Group, Holland & Knight maintains strong relationships with Congress and federal agencies, allowing the firm to influence digital asset policy and legislation.

The firm's 35 offices span the United States and internationally, including significant presence in Latin America where the firm advises on digital asset regulatory frameworks in Colombia and other jurisdictions.
