KBH operates in one of the world’s most active fintech and virtual asset markets

KBH is recognised for its work on disputes, regulatory issues and commercial matters involving fintech, digital assets and blockchain technology.

At the developing edge of digital asset law

KBH has acted in one of the DIFC Courts’ defining digital asset disputes: Gate Mena DMCC and Huobi Mena FZE v Tabarak Investment Capital Limited, widely recognised as producing the Courts’ first cryptocurrency judgment. The case reflects KBH’s ability to conduct technically complex, commercially significant, and precedent-setting litigation at the developing edge of DIFC law.
