Chevron Case-Winning Lawyer Joins Coinbase Board

The lawyer who recently brought victory to the Supreme Court by overturning the Chevron doctrine, Paul Clement, has been recently joined the board of directors at Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S.

Clement’s legal background, particularly his knowledge of regulation and Supreme Court, will be crucial as Coinbase has to deal with several lawsuits from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In June, the Supreme Court overruled in the Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council case from 1984, which had allowed agencies to issue broad regulation. This ruling, as Clement argued, prevents agencies such as the SEC from making administrative changes without the approval of Congress, stating that the previous practice of deferring to agencies was unsustainable.
