The Fintech department at Zioni Pillersdorf Phillip is widely recognized for its proficiency in the fintech world, particularly in blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

With vast experience in the fintech industry, we advise our clients on crucial areas such as online payments, digital currencies, open banking, money transfers, electronic money, and governmental regulations, both domestically and overseas. The department specializes in furnishing legal agreements and in obtaining the requisite licenses and permits mandated by law, along with aiding its clients in capital raising, commercial agreement, IP, etc. On the litigation front, we specialize in litigation concerning the law and regulation of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. We represent and advise companies and individuals in various proceedings regarding these matters.

In this context, we represented Bits of Gold (BOG), a pioneering cryptocurrency broker, in a precedential appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court (EA 6389/17). The Supreme Court accepted our appeal, determining that BOG can continue to manage its account at Leumi Bank for trading cryptocurrencies. The case set a significant global precedent, influencing the entire field, cited worldwide, and brought about a change in the Israeli Government's attitude towards digital currencies. Following this achievement, we became the 'go-to firm' for companies and individuals involved in the cryptocurrency field.
