Crypto Assets for Private Client Practitioners with James Normington

Digital assets and cryptocurrency are no longer limited to a small number of specialist clients. They are becoming increasingly common, which makes it important for professional advisers to understand how these assets may arise in practice and what steps may be needed when dealing with them.

This webinar will explore the key developments advisers need to understand in the field of digital assets. It will provide a practical overview of the issues that can arise when identifying, investigating and valuing these assets, as well as the tax considerations that may follow.

In this session, we will cover:

• What digital assets and quasi-digital assets are, and how to distinguish between them
• Cryptocurrencies, including what they are, how to identify them and how they may relate to your practice
• The duty to investigate and the practical steps involved in locating digital and quasi-digital assets
• How digital assets may be valued
