Special counsel Rodrigo Seira of Paradigm has left the cryptocurrency-focused venture capital firm, citing his LinkedIn profile and an individual with knowledge of the matter, to re-join Cooley LLP, his former employer.
Before coming to Paradigm, Seira, a graduate of Harvard Law School, worked at Cooley as outside counsel for cryptocurrency investors and entrepreneurs. Seira was also one of the original founders of the blockchain and cryptocurrency-focused boutique DLX Law.
Seira assisted in establishing Paradigm’s Policy Lab during his two and a half years there in order to promote blockchain innovation and legislation in the United States. According to a blog post by the company, Paradigm’s Policy Lab sought to bring together scholars, policy experts, attorneys, and technologists to do study on policy concerns pertaining to cryptocurrency.
According to reports, Paradigm sought to raise between $750 and $850 million for a new fund last month.
