Cryptocurrency, Blockchain and Digital Assets Lawyer in Lebanon
Digital-asset matters combine transactions, platform terms, control of accounts or wallets and the laws of more than one country. Dr. Dani Geagea advises on cryptocurrency and blockchain-related legal issues, drawing on his work in Internet law, digital evidence and cross-border disputes.
Start with a brief summary, any approaching deadline and the types of documents available.
01
How the office can assist
Blockchain projects and smart contracts
Review of the proposed activity, written agreements, token-related rights, governance and the relationship between code and contractual obligations. The work identifies questions for legal and technical review before the intended use or launch.
Platforms, custody and transaction disputes
Assessment of exchange or platform terms, access restrictions, custody arrangements, disputed transfers and allocation of responsibility. Account records, communications and the identity and location of the relevant entities form part of the review.
Regulatory scope and cross-border activity
Mapping of the activity, participants, services and target markets to identify potentially applicable licensing, financial, contractual and compliance requirements. Foreign-law questions may require coordination with appropriately licensed counsel in the relevant jurisdiction.
02
Legal context
Evidence matters as much as the transaction
A transaction hash or wallet address can help trace the recorded movement of an asset, but the legal claim also depends on the parties, communications, authority and circumstances of the transfer. For suspected fraud, the office assesses the available evidence, possible claim routes and practical enforcement issues. Legal work does not guarantee recovery or replace a technical security review.
03

Documents that help the review
Platform name, website and the terms available at the relevant time

Countries involved and any pending complaint or deadline
Working with Dr. Dani Geagea
Office: Panorama Towers, T3, 21st Floor, Mar Roukoz, Metn, Lebanon. The discussion can begin remotely. The scope and fees are defined before work begins.
Is a cryptocurrency activity automatically permitted in Lebanon?+
The label alone is insufficient to answer. Holding, issuing, exchanging, providing custody or marketing a digital asset can involve different activities and jurisdictions. The office assesses the specific model against the applicable rules before advising.
What should I include in an initial enquiry about a loss?+
State the platform, approximate date, type of transaction, countries involved and documents available. Never send a seed phrase, private key, password or one-time code. The office will explain how relevant evidence can be reviewed.
A brief outline of the issue and any approaching deadline is enough to begin. The office will clarify whether it can assist and explain the proposed scope and fees before work starts.
For a faster initial review, mention the matter type, any approaching deadline, the parties’ locations and the documents available. Do not send highly sensitive information before the communication channel is confirmed.
Prepare an initial enquiry
These details stay in this page until you open WhatsApp or email. The selected service will then process them. Review and send the message there. Avoid confidential documents, passwords and account numbers.
An enquiry does not create an attorney–client relationship or suspend a deadline. The office first checks conflicts, scope and fees.
