Uniswap Strengthens Legal Team with Hiring of Katherine Minarik as Chief Legal Officer

Uniswap Labs, the organization behind the decentralized exchange Uniswap, has appointed Katherine Minarik as its new Chief Legal Officer (CLO). Katherine brings a wealth of experience from her time as Associate General Counsel at cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. "I am thrilled to join Uniswap Labs as CLO," said Minarik. "I have been deeply involved in the crypto industry for the past four years, and I am passionate about the potential of DeFi. I look forward to contributing to Uniswap's mission of fostering economic inclusion and shaping the future of finance." The appointment of Minarik underscores Uniswap's commitment to building a strong legal team amidst regulatory scrutiny. Uniswap has recently filed a motion to dismiss a Wells notice from the SEC, and Minarik's expertise in litigation strategy will be valuable in navigating the legal landscape. "Katherine's experience at Coinbase will be invaluable to Uniswap as we continue to navigate the regulatory environment," said Marvin Ammori, Uniswap Labs' former CLO. "She played a key role in designing Coinbase's litigation strategy, and we are confident that she will help us prevail if the SEC brings an enforcement action against Uniswap."
