Recognition
December 10, 2024
Chambers & Partners has ranked Jenner & Block as a leading firm for Crypto-Asset Disputes in their 2025 Fintech Guide. Partners Laurel Loomis Rimon and Kayvan Sadeghi were also ranked. This annual guide highlights the top fintech firms, advisers, and litigators, and is based on thousands of in-depth interviews with clients.
In the guide, Chambers highlighted Jenner’s white-collar criminal defense capabilities, and our ability to advise blockchain and crypto-asset clients on a broad range of matters, including securities class actions, fraud allegations, and government investigations and litigation. Clients praised the firm's superior brief-writing abilities, noting that "the team writes with clarity and brevity that indicates a true mastery of the subject." The guide also highlighted that "Jenner & Block [has] deep domain expertise in crypto-related matters combined with litigation expertise."
Laurel, a co-chair of the firm’s Fintech and Crypto Assets Practice, was ranked in the Fintech Crypto-Asset Disputes category. A former federal prosecutor with deep experience in the financial regulatory and enforcement sector, Laurel is an unrelenting and pragmatic problem-solver. She offers clients practical advice when facing compliance or enforcement challenges involving anti-money-laundering, consumer protection, federal or state oversight, fintech, and payments. Laurel is also a leading practitioner and thought leader in the emerging blockchain ecosystem.
Kayvan was also ranked in the Crypto-Asset Disputes category. As a co-chair of the firm’s Fintech and Crypto Assets Practice, he helps crypto clients navigate uncharted legal waters and resolve litigation and enforcement matters that threaten their way of doing business. Kayvan serves as lead counsel for defendants and sophisticated plaintiffs in complex commercial and securities litigation nationwide, often involving nine- or 10-figure damages. He also regularly defends clients in high-stakes investigations before the US Department of Justice, the SEC, state attorneys general, and other regulators.
