Background

About Joseph Perkins

I advise technology companies and venture capital investors with a focus on blockchain, cryptocurrency, Web3, and NFT companies, as well as Japanese technology clients in their growth journeys. I help companies develop innovative and comprehensive legal strategies to achieve their goals of bringing to market disruptive and transformative technologies. From DAO and NFT creation, general corporate and fundraising strategies, to navigating complex and changing regulatory regimes, I have become a go-to advisor for companies in the blockchain and virtual currency ecosystem. As a member of Orrick’s Technology Companies Group, I assist cutting-edge technology companies and investors with general corporate counseling, private venture capital financing, and M&A services. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the most iconic companies in Silicon Valley, advising on corporate strategy and fundraising matters. I also lead Orrick's international Technology Companies practice connecting Silicon Valley with Japan. I represent a number of technology companies and investors based in Japan, bringing my Silicon Valley experiences to assist founders and corporate venture capital funds. I am fluent in Japanese and retain a strong connection to Japanese companies and our Tokyo practice.
