About

Sami Ahmed is the founder of TLX Law, a boutique law practice focused on blockchain and emerging technologies, securities and regulatory matters, venture and private equity transactions, and fund formation.

Sami advises founders, funds, and institutional clients on complex legal and structural questions arising from digital assets, tokenized products, private capital formation, and evolving financial infrastructure. His work frequently sits at the intersection of securities law, commodities regulation, payments, and novel on-chain business models.

He has served in a senior legal leadership role at a large, technology-enabled crypto and private markets platform, where he led the legal function and advised across capital markets, product development, strategic transactions, and regulatory engagement. His work included supporting significant capital raises and acquisitions, designing compliance strategies involving U.S. securities and commodities regulators, and structuring digital-asset–linked investment and financing products.

Prior to founding TLX Law, Sami practiced at PAG Law PLLC and at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, where he worked on high-stakes regulatory, appellate, and commercial litigation matters. His experience includes defending companies and executives in SEC enforcement actions, advising on securities compliance for funds and token projects, and assisting in the defense of a major digital asset issuer in litigation concerning the regulatory status of its token.

Sami began his legal career clerking for the Honorable Timothy Tymkovich, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, where he researched and drafted opinions in federal appellate civil and criminal cases.

In addition to his legal practice, Sami is a Lecturer at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he teaches a course on blockchain ventures and regulation and has received a Wharton Teaching Excellence Award based on student evaluations.
