Fintech & Crypto

Fintech and crypto are among our core areas of specialization. We support clients at every stage—from launch to exit, from licensing to IPOs and token sales. Our work combines international regulatory experience (the U.S., the EU, and leading offshore jurisdictions) with a deep understanding of the underlying technology.

Our Specialization

Structuring Crypto Projects and Funds

We develop optimal corporate structures for investors and tech teams, advising on jurisdiction selection, ownership architecture, tax optimization, and compliance. We prepare the full suite of documents, including SAFEs, SAFTs, token warrants, shareholders’ agreements, internal policies, and related materials.

Tokenization and Digital Asset Issuance

We support the launch of utility, governance, and RWA tokens—from concept to exchange listing. Our work includes securities law assessments, legal opinions, regulatory analysis, jurisdictional structuring, and preparation of disclaimers and public sale terms.

Mining Regulation

We assist clients in launching and scaling mining businesses in selected jurisdictions. Our services include obtaining permits and registrations, preparing contractual and corporate documentation, designing compliant tax-efficient models, and ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance.

DeFi and DAO

We develop legal frameworks for decentralized protocols, including DAO governance, treasury structures, staking platforms, and token flows. Our priority is minimizing regulatory and tax risk while maintaining decentralization where needed.

Financial Services and Licensing

We obtain licenses for crypto exchanges, wallets, and payment services. We design KYC/AML, risk management, and compliance procedures aligned with regulatory expectations.

Sanctions Compliance and Cross-Border Payments

We design compliant payment structures for CIS-based clients working with international partners. Our work includes sanctions screening, banking compliance, transaction audits, and preparing checklists and playbooks for communication with banks.

We secured the release of client funds frozen by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through targeted filings and representation.

We structured the crypto market-maker operating on 30+ centralized and decentralized exchanges with a combined daily volume exceeding $20 million. Our work included regulatory analysis and full corporate and contractual setup.

Tokenized Revenues and NFT Infrastructure

We designed the architecture for an RWA project with NFT elements and a network of vending machines. We ensured compliance with regulation in the U.S., the EU, the UAE, and Panama.

DeFi Staking Protocol

We carried out a full legal review of a protocol for passive income on stablecoins, allocating assets across multiple staking platforms. We separated software development and operating functions between a Wyoming entity and an offshore entity, minimized regulatory risk, and designed a licensing and go-to-market strategy.
