LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2021 / Stratis, the Blockchain-as-a-service company that recently launched its InterFlux sidechain solution, has been selected by global law firm CMS for its CMS equIP legal accelerator programme.
The CMS equIP programme offers support and guidance to the startups that require legal counsel, provided that they pass the program's stringent selection process. As part of equIP, Stratis can easily tap into CMS's expert legal teams across the firm's 70 offices worldwide. In addition to steep discounts, equIP members have access to CMS's network of investors, technology companies and startups.
Having access to the best legal advice in the world is critical for a Blockchain-as-a-service company like Stratis. The blockchain and cryptocurrency industry remains at the fringes of global regulatory environments, with many possible complications arising from trying to apply old legal frameworks to the new technology. Given the global nature of blockchain, it is also crucial that blockchain companies are able to navigate around the many iterations of national legal frameworks. With the strong backing from CMS, Stratis can focus on delivering the best possible product instead of devoting the majority of their resources to legal matters.
"Being selected to become a member of CMS's exclusive equIP programme is a tremendous achievement for Stratis and a testament to the fantastic technology we have built and delivered," said Chris Trew, Stratis Founder and CEO. "As the first blockchain-based project to be admitted to the programme, I look forward to exploring opportunities and collaborating with other innovative equIP members."
"We are pleased to welcome Stratis to the CMS equIP fold," said Charles Kerrigan, CMS Partner. "CMS equIP has and continues to set a remarkable track record in supporting new businesses and start-ups that are being built by some of the brightest minds in the country. As we build a centre of excellence for legal services specifically for blockchain companies, and in EmTech generally, Stratis will form an important part of this. We look forward to supporting Stratis with the legal assistance and smart legal tech that it needs to grow successfully."
Stratis continues to excel in bridging the mainstream corporate development world with the blockchain environment, thanks to its focus on the battle-tested and widely used .NET framework by Microsoft. By choosing to build on Stratis Blockchain, global companies can continue using familiar development practices and tools. Stratis's InterFlux sidechain is the perfect platform for building the next great blockchain application for independent teams. Through the support of the Stratis Development Accelerator and the benefits of CMS equIP incubation, developers will find a nurturing blockchain ecosystem.
