In this episode, I welcome Brandon Ferrick, co-founder and GC at B+J Studios, formerly Sullivan and Cromwell attorney, and former GC of Injective Labs. We have a down-to-earth chat about what it actually means for teams to work with lawyers in web3. Show notes:

• What do general counsels do?
• Why do teams need one and when should they hire one?
• Fundraising for a web3 startup
• An open-source, one-page SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens)
• What legal questions have we yet to answer as an industry?
• Biggest legal pitfalls you've seen in web3
• What's it like to work with a lawyer and how do you make sure it's a good fit?
• "Air cover" and token memos
• How do you stay up-to-date on crypto legal and regulatory topics?
• If you're a lawyer and you want to get into web3, people are really nice - keep asking them how you can get involved and help
