Blockchain versus financial regulations: bridging the gap between innovation and law.
Anne-Grace Kleczewski* began her legal career in Belgium, specialising in financial regulations, mergers and acquisitions. During her doctoral studies, she delved into new technologies and the cryptocurrency sector. With a comprehensive understanding of both technical and regulatory aspects, she now works as a legal advisor in Switzerland — a pioneering nation for cryptocurrencies.
Her expertise spans decentralised finance protocols, various types of DAOs, and Layer 1 and Layer 2 projects. Anne-Grace ensures that these projects comply with Swiss and European legal standards, even in their early development stages. She remains pragmatic, taking into account business necessities at all times.
