Join the Blockchain Meetup Group from 12-1PM on Friday, February 19. The Tax Man is coming and wants to know if you have any digital assets that should be accounted for! Our speaker for this month will not only be able to tell us how to account for cryptocurrency trades and holdings but also lead a discussion on how regulations may affect the market today and in the year ahead.

 

Andrew B. Gordon is the managing attorney of Gordon Law Group. Not only is he a practicing attorney who graduated from Chicago Kent College of Law, but he is also a Certified Public Accountant with a BA and Master’s Degree from the University of Illinois.

 

As a student at the University of Illinois, Andrew was a co-founder of the Students in Free Enterprise chapter - now Illinois Enactus. During law school, Andrew volunteered at the school’s Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, where he gained experience assisting with tax issues. He also clerked at the IRS Office of Chief Counsel and chaired an IRS fraud trial.

 

At his practice, Andrew concentrates on tax controversy and compliance, cryptocurrency law, FTC defense, internet law, and corporate litigation. He’s also popular among tech startups and affiliate marketers looking to stay on the right side of the legal fence while enhancing their bottom lines and minimizing liability.

 

This is group is for anyone interested in distributed ledger technology (i.e. blockchains, cryptography, smart contracts, decentralized applications (DApps) cryptocurrency/tokens, and relevant related subjects). Everyone is welcome! We will meet once a month and will have an educational component as well as a discussion component at our meetups. Join if you seek to learn about this industry and have a great time!

 

Our group is affiliated with the Blockchain Special Interest Group of the Association for Computer Machinery at the University of Illinois. Blockchain SIG members help manage the group, provide informational sessions, and coordinate special events.
