A Pioneering Legal Journey into Cryptocurrency
The digital age has transformed not only how we live and work but also how we manage and transact value.

This case represents one of the first instances where commercial law meets cryptocurrency in Northern Ireland, reflecting the evolving nature of legal practice in response to global digital financial innovations.
Darragh Mackin’s Role and Expertise
Darragh Mackin, recognised for his expertise in the digital sphere and a proven track record in handling complex cases, has taken on this pioneering lawsuit.
