Tell Us About Your Case

Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are transforming how businesses operate, but they also create high-stakes legal disputes unlike anything traditional courts have handled before. When commercial disputes involve digital assets, you need a trial-ready litigation team that understands both business law and the technical realities of the crypto economy.

At Berg PC, our lawyers bring together 130+ years of combined business litigation experience and nationally recognized expertise in cryptocurrency fraud, tracing, and recovery. We represent businesses, investors, exchanges, and individuals in complex commercial disputes involving digital assets across Texas and nationwide.

Whether your dispute involves a failed crypto transaction, partnership issues, breach of contract, fraud, or regulatory exposure, we can help.

Why Crypto Litigation Requires a Different Kind of Lawyer

Most business litigators don’t understand crypto. Most crypto lawyers don’t try cases. Berg PC does both.

We are one of the few law firms in the country that can:

  • Explain blockchain technology clearly to judges and juries
  • Trace, freeze, and recover stolen digital assets
  • Litigate complex commercial disputes involving smart contracts, exchanges, wallets, and digital asset transactions
  • Navigate SEC, DOJ, CFTC, and state-level enforcement actions
  • Handle partnership disputes, breach of contract claims, and corporate governance issues in crypto-focused businesses
  • Prepare businesses on the front end through compliant crypto transactions and governance structures

Crypto litigation is technical, fast-moving, and high-stakes. You shouldn’t trust your case to someone learning the technology for the first time.

What Is Crypto Litigation?

Crypto litigation is the legal process of resolving disputes involving cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, digital assets, crypto-native businesses, or commercial agreements involving crypto. Common disputes include:

  • Breach of contract involving crypto payments or token transactions
  • Partnership or ownership disputes in Web3 or blockchain companies
  • Misrepresentations during token offerings or digital asset deals
  • Crypto fraud, tracing, and asset recovery actions
  • Misappropriation of crypto assets, wallet access, or private keys
  • Exchange-related disputes involving withdrawals, frozen assets, or platform failures
  • Regulatory enforcement or investigations involving the SEC, DOJ, CFTC, or FinCEN
  • Commercial litigation involving NFTs, smart contracts, or on-chain transactions

Crypto litigation is, at its core, business litigation but with entirely new forms of evidence, transactions, and regulatory considerations. That combination is where Berg PC excels.
