Emerging technology lawyer. Podcast host. Advisor to founders and entrepreneurs since 2013 — across hi-tech, blockchain, and crypto — not just as a lawyer, but as a participant and investor.
Yitzy Hammer is the founder of Hammer & Co. Law Offices. He's been working with founders and entrepreneurs since 2013, and in legal practice since 2015, advising hi-tech and emerging technology companies — including deep, hands-on experience in blockchain and crypto.
His practice covers the full lifecycle of a growing company — formation, fundraising, commercial and employment agreements, regulatory compliance, and exit — for founders across hi-tech, and token issuance and regulatory work for those building in crypto.
Yitzy is featured in major publications and speaks at conferences from Paris to Miami to Singapore, including as a strategic advisor and investor in select blockchain and Web3 initiatives.
Beyond his legal practice, Yitzy serves as a Captain (Reserve) in the International Law Department of the IDF's Military Advocate General's Corps — bringing a unique perspective on international law and compliance to his work.
He is CIPP/E certified, meaning his data privacy and GDPR advice is grounded in formal, tested expertise.
As host of Beyond the Code — now with 100+ episodes — Yitzy has interviewed regulators, founders, and policymakers from across the globe, including SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce.
Yitzy is also active as a strategic advisor and investor in select crypto and Web3 projects — meaning that when your business touches that world, he understands it as a participant, not just as outside counsel.
From Miami to Singapore to Paris — Yitzy is consistently present at leading tech, startup, and blockchain conferences, speaking, networking, and staying at the frontier of the industry.
