Ashurst joins CryptoUK
Ashurst is a leading global law firm with deep expertise in digital assets and financial innovation, advising clients at the forefront of the rapidly evolving digital finance ecosystem.
Ashurst has established itself as a trusted adviser on complex and pioneering digital asset matters, including tokenisation, digitally native securities, crypto-asset regulation, stablecoins, CBDCs and the application of distributed ledger technology across financial markets. Its multidisciplinary, international team works closely with financial institutions, fintechs, market infrastructure providers and policymakers, combining legal rigour with a strong understanding of commercial and regulatory realities across the UK and globally.
“Digital assets are no longer an experimental side-pocket of financial services. They are increasingly being embedded into core market infrastructure,” said Timothy Cant, Partner at Ashurst. “We work with clients who are actively designing and deploying tokenised products, new settlement models and digitally native instruments. Joining CryptoUK reflects our belief that legal certainty, market design and regulatory engagement must evolve in parallel if the UK is to remain competitive in this space.”
Su Carpenter, Executive Director at CryptoUK, added: “With global crypto regulation entering an implementation phase, 2026 will be a critical year for shaping how digital assets integrate into mainstream finance. Ashurst’s practical experience advising on complex, real-world digital asset initiatives will further strengthen CryptoUK’s engagement with regulators as the UK looks to maintain its leadership in financial innovation.”
