In a new client alert, partner Sonia Kothari examines Rev. Proc. 2026-20, released by the IRS on October 6. The revenue procedure provides an updated safe harbor that allows certain investment trusts and grantor trusts to stake digital assets while preserving their intended tax classification. It clarifies, modifies, and supersedes Rev. Proc. 2025-31.

To rely on the safe harbor, a trust must satisfy prescribed operational, governance, custody, staking provider, liquidity, and distribution requirements. Interests must be listed and traded on a national securities exchange, with staking activities disclosed in an effective SEC registration statement. The trust may hold only cash and a single type of digital asset, and staking must be conducted through unrelated custodians and staking providers under arm’s-length arrangements. The trust must also be indemnified against slashing within the staking provider’s control and must distribute staking rewards no later than 60 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which it gains control over them.
Qualifying trusts have a six-month window to amend trust agreements and update their procedures. Sponsors and trustees should review governing documents and staking arrangements against each requirement now.

Warshaw Burstein, LLP is pleased to announce Carlos Perez-Hall has joined the firm as a partner in the litigation and real estate groups.

Mr. Perez-Hall provides counsel to property owners, management companies, developers, and Co-Op and Condominium boards in commercial and residential real estate matters in New York City. He advises clients on litigation, management and operational issues affecting their real estate assets.

His practice focuses on commercial and residential landlord-tenant disputes, settlement negotiations, and matters involving the daily management of real property. Carlos has decades of experience appearing in Housing Court, Civil Court, and Supreme Court in New York City.

Carlos also defends property owners against lawsuits and code infractions issued by New York State and New York City administrative agencies, including the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Department of Housing and Community Renewal, and Department of Buildings.

Carlos was recently appointed to the New York City Housing Court Practice and Policy Advisory Committee, which provides analysis, consultation, and policy guidance to court leadership on statutes, court rules, administrative practices and related Housing Court policies.

Carlos is also serving his third term on the Housing Advisory Council, which assists in appointing and re-appointing Housing Court judges.

“Carlos’s deep experience as a real estate litigator here in New York is an asset to our real estate litigation team. His clients trust him to find the most satisfying result in the most demanding situations, often by artfully navigating New York’s complex rent laws and handling the related litigation,” said Thomas Filardo, Chair of the Litigation Department and Co-Managing Partner of the firm. “We are delighted to welcome Carlos as a partner and to avail his clients access to the other practice areas of our full-service firm.”

“We are delighted to welcome Carlos to the firm as we build out the landlord-tenant practice area in our already deep and diversified real estate practice group,” said Co-Managing Partner, Frederick R. Cummings, Jr. “Notably, Carlos has a great deal of experience outside of his law practice, with his volunteer work aimed at making the court system a fairer, better place for everyone. We look forward to his contributions to the firm in myriad ways.”

"Successful legal representation requires more than just legal expertise. It requires understanding each client's business, goals, and challenges," said Carlos Perez-Hall. "I'm excited to join Warshaw Burstein and work alongside its talented attorneys to provide exceptional service and strategic counsel to our clients."

Mr. Perez-Hall graduated from Emory University with a B.A. in 2000 and Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law with a J.D. in 2003. He is a former president of the Puerto Rican Bar Association.
