About Ebony Thompson
Results-oriented attorney and executive with several years of diverse leadership, management, financial technology and legal experience. I am passionate about advising FinTech and Blockchain projects that are revolutionizing electronic payments and international commerce. I have a broad range of experience in complex litigation including contract disputes, real estate litigation, regulatory litigation, insolvency proceedings, employment law, products liability actions and other civil and commercial matters. My experience includes litigation in state, federal and bankruptcy court for individuals, national and international companies as well as local government. I have also conducted electronic data discovery and forensic data acquisitions for extensive litigation cases. While attending Brown University to obtain my BA in Economics, I simultaneously served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve and then became a Private Client Group Associate with UBS Global Asset Management, Inc. in New York City, providing wealth management services to clients internationally. As a private real estate investor, I developed partnerships with leading real estate financiers in Maryland and Virginia to rehabilitate dilapidated neighborhoods. I have merged my passions for real estate, financial technology, and the law to represent my clients in a myriad of matters and disputes.
