Previous Facebook Vice President and Deputy General Counsel Paul Grewal will lead crypto trade Coinbase’s lawful group.
Paul Grewal, a previous US officer judge in California and Deputy General Counsel for Facebook, is joining crypto exchange Coinbase’s legal team.
In a July 8 declaration on the Coinbase blog, the crypto exchange said the expansion of Grewal will help “prepare for the following period of crypto mindfulness and adoption.” The new Chief Legal Officer will likewise lead the legal team as Coinbase accomplices with financial services regulators, and creates and discharges new products and services.
As indicated by Coinbase, Grewal supervised in excess of a thousand cases during his five years as a judge, and “assumed critical jobs” in Apple v. Samsung and Oracle v. Google, two significant lawful cases on technology.
Stepping into various roles
Coinbase’s declaration comes two months after its previous chief legal counsel, Brian P. Creeks, left the trade following two years. He is presently the top of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, an agency inside the Treasury Department.
It’s unclear whether Grewal’s arrangement was affected by an ongoing legal claim against Coinbase’s “data plumber” Plaid, recorded after Brooks’ flight. The offended parties affirm that Plaid violated privacy and data insurances by aggregating and adapting financial transactions of a large number of clients.
