I need a lawyer for a bitcoin startup!   Are you comfortable with FinCEN and BSA?    I keep looking around where I live but I can't get any love over here.

my website is http://cashintocoins.com.   Does anything stand out as "OMG Take it down before the fbi shows up"

Hello everybody.  I'm an attorney that works with start-ups and the finance industry.  I tackle formation issues, together with intellectual property and commercial matters.  I'd just like to introduce myself.

I've lurked here for a bit and read a lot of people asking for a referral for a lawyer who is an expert in US bitcoin law.  I'm sorry to say that there aren't any.  In fact, there's really no such thing as bitcoin law, in the traditional sense.  There are a few rules and some guidance given by FinCen, but almost nothing from state authorities and even fewer actual, live cases.

There are plenty of attorneys who specialize in financial services regulation, but those of us who are interested in bitcoin know what we don't know - "known unknowns" as one of our leaders once put it. 

I hope that I can help around here!



off topic, just curious what kind of attorney are you?

To me, bitcoins are like the Internet in 1995.  It was a very good time to get into the Internet business back then, and it's a great time to get into the Bitcoin service industry now.  Welcome to the forum, and I may hit you up if I'm forced to do any work in the US Smiley

Welcome to the forum.  As far as I know at this point there are no laws concerning bitcoin and the US government does not even recognize it as a currency.  I am sure this will change but would certainly appreciate knowledge as we are running a variety of bitcoin businesses.

I hope that I can help around here!  I can't really give legal advice on the boards because I'm working with limited information.  Nonetheless, I will provide general information as best as I can.
