Major Law Firm CMS Adds Stratis (STRAX) to its Legal Accelerator Program

The large law firm CMS selected the blockchain service company Stratis, for its equIP legal accelerator program. As a result, Stratis and CMS will offer support and guidance to startups requiring legal counsel.

CMS Adds Stratis to Accelerator Program

Founded in 1999, CMS is an integrated, multi-jurisdictional organization of law firms that offers full-service legal and tax advice. The firm has more than 70 offices in over 40 counties with nearly 5,000 lawyers.

In a press release shared with CryptoPotato, Stratis announced a partnership with CMS. The former is a blockchain-based project offering enhanced security, reliability, and performance through its DLT system.

This means that Stratis will join the law firm’s legal accelerator program called CMS equIP. The integration will enable the blockchain-based service company to “easily tap into CMS’s expert legal teams across the firm’s 70 offices worldwide.”

Stratis will also enjoy “steep” discounts and will be able to access the law firm’s network of investors, tech companies, and startups.

The CMS equIP program will offer support to startups requiring legal counsel. However, they would need to pass “stringent” selection processes.

“We are please do welcome Stratis to the CMS equIP fold. It has and continues to set a remarkable track record in supporting new businesses and startups that are being built by some of the brightest minds in the country.

As we build a center of excellence for legal services specifically for blockchain companies, and in EmTech generally, Stratis will form an important part of this.” – commented Charles Kerrigan, CMS Partner.

Crucial Importance for Stratis

The statement outlined the “critical” benefits coming in Stratis’ way after receiving access to the “best legal advice in the world.” Furthermore, the partnership could also serve as a major first step towards bridging the gap between companies from within and outside of the cryptocurrency industry, especially in times when global regulations are looming.

Stratis Founder and CEO Chris Trew also highlighted the significance of this integration for this company:

“Being selected to become a member of CMS’s exclusive equIP program is a tremendous achievement for Stratis and a testament to the fantastic technology we have built and delivered. As the first blockchain-based project to be admitted to the program, I look forward to exploring opportunities and collaborating with other innovative equIP members.”
