Blockchain & Crypto

Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies have moved well beyond cryptocurrencies. Today we work with tokenization projects, decentralized protocols, DAOs and crypto-asset service providers, all building products that must operate within a regulatory framework that is now concrete and demanding.

With MiCA fully in effect, operating in the EU crypto-asset market is no longer about navigating gray areas. It is about licensing, disclosure obligations and ongoing supervision. At the same time, crypto projects intersect with anti-money laundering rules, DORA, data protection and tax law.

We support clients at every stage, from early structuring and proof of concept to launch and ongoing compliance. We combine legal and regulatory expertise with a working understanding of the underlying technology. We are technology-agnostic: we don't force your project into a predefined model. We help you find the structure that fits it.

How we can help

• MiCA compliance: classification of crypto-assets (ARTs, EMTs and other crypto-assets), white papers, CASP authorization and cross-border passporting
• Token issuance and tokenization: including real-world assets and the line between crypto-assets and financial instruments (MiFID II, DLT Pilot Regime)
• DAOs and decentralized protocols: legal wrappers, governance design, liability allocation and fundraising documentation
• AML/CFT and the Transfer of Funds Regulation (travel rule)
• DORA and ICT risk management for crypto-asset service providers
• Data protection on-chain: reconciling GDPR with immutable ledgers
• Legal opinions, terms of service and privacy policies for crypto products and platforms
• Due diligence on crypto businesses for investors and partners
• Jurisdiction selection and cross-border structuring: comparing crypto-friendly jurisdictions and setting up the right entities, in coordination with local counsel

‍

A global perspective

Crypto projects rarely stop at national borders. We have solid knowledge of the leading crypto-friendly jurisdictions worldwide and help clients assess where and how to structure their activities.

Our founder is a member of several international associations of blockchain lawyers. This gives us an extensive network of trusted local counsel, so advice on each jurisdiction's law always comes from lawyers qualified to practice there.

Our approach

We don't stop at telling you what you can't do. We raise the hard questions early, challenge assumptions when needed, and work with you toward a solution that is both legally sound and commercially viable.
