Legal stuff is always scary. And I've had to play offense a couple times, begrudgingly. To have Harris Sliwoski have my back? It made things a lot less prickly. They quickly walked me through my options, and were refreshingly consistent in their communications, timing and billing. I've been lucky to stay out of the legal side of things my whole career, thankfully. When things went a little wrong, Harris Sliwoski quickly made things right.

I have been working with the lawyers at Harris Sliwoski for more than 20 years both as a business owner and as an executive at a large east-coast health system and that is because they have always efficiently provided high level and clear international law advice. Most recently, Harris Sliwoski provided legal support on many matters related to procuring medical products worldwide. Their support was particularly helpful to during the onset of COVID, when there was a big need for securing PPE quickly, all while navigating complicated international and domestic legal requirements. Harris Sliwoski’s team of international lawyers helped by conducting rapid-fire due diligence on potential suppliers, navigating the legal logistics for getting product from overseas and through U.S. customs, and drafting contracts to protect against various sorts of horribles. They did this by essentially providing what amounted to 24/7 service. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

You won't find a better partner than Harris Sliwoski when trying to navigate the complex world of healthcare regulations. They not only give sound and reliable legal advice, but they are also very responsive and are able to guide you in a way that helps you reach your business objectives as well.
When we started the process of building a 'seed to sale' cannabis company in Oregon, we saw the need for expert legal counsel. The cannabis sector is fraught with potential peril at every turn, and we wanted the best legal advice we could find. After talking to several firms and individuals, we feel extremely fortunate to have chosen Harris Sliwoski as our legal counsel.
We use Harris Sliwoski on all our international legal matters, including on our international litigation matters. We have over the last few years been involved in a couple big international legal disputes and Harris Sliwoski’s international dispute resolution team provided us with expert legal assistance on both matters. They were always very careful to explain to us what they were doing and why and what their actions would likely cost us in legal fees. Most importantly, we did extremely well on both cases and I have no doubt Harris Sliwoski was a big factor in that.
We have used Harris Sliwoski for legal help related to our international manufacturing. The lawyers with whom I worked had extensive familiarity with the international legal issues involved in our various projects and offered us key insights. I particularly appreciated how they always quickly and efficiently do what they say they will do and always within their cost estimates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Legal Challenges of Web3?
Web3 technology is changing the digital landscape. Each benefit it offers comes with a range of unprecedented capabilities and circumstances with few concrete legal guidelines to follow. As Web3 grows, numerous legal challenges will become more apparent and require businesses to seek protection from agile legal firms. Current and predicted legal challenges revolve around areas like:
- Data privacy and security: Web3 utilizes a decentralized system where entire networks of computers store data. This approach eliminates a central point of vulnerability, but the databases are often publically visible. Businesses using a decentralized data storage system will have difficulty abiding by privacy laws and regulations.
- Intellectual property: The decentralized nature of Web3 will make it more difficult for businesses and creatives to protect trademarks, patents, copyrights and other intellectual property. Intellectual property rights laws must evolve to match new vulnerabilities, and businesses will need to adapt to operate within those new laws.
- Central authority and governance: Decentralized virtual environments lack authority figures that uphold laws and regulations. Without an agency enforcing laws in decentralized spaces, businesses using Web3 could be vulnerable to illegal activity. Many disputes will go unresolved, so businesses must find ways to defend themselves.
What Are Web3 Assets?
A Web3 asset is any digital good that utilizes blockchain technology. These assets are decentralized, so regulations around them are currently nonexistent. As a result, a Web3 asset can take many forms. Common Web3 assets include cryptocurrencies, music, digital art, non-fungible tokens and virtual real estate. Businesses can use the creative flexibility that Web3 offers to create various assets that open new avenues for customer engagement.
Is Cryptocurrency Legal in the United States?
Cryptocurrency is legal in the United States. However, Web3 and blockchain technology are new, and the market needs time to catch up. Banks currently do not accept cryptocurrency and likely will not until more regulations emerge. The best way to trade cryptocurrency today is to register with an exchange service where you can purchase cryptocurrency in exchange for standard currency.
