General Counsel Services

Growing technology and crypto companies need legal support every day, but not always a full-time in-house lawyer. Contracts, board decisions, regulatory questions and unexpected incidents keep coming. Each of them needs someone who knows your business and can give a clear answer quickly.

These companies also carry a regulatory load that is out of proportion to their size. MiCA, the GDPR, AML rules, the AI Act and DORA can all apply to a team of a few dozen people. Investors, banks and business partners expect written policies, orderly corporate records and a clear view of legal risk, often from the very first funding round.

We act as your external general counsel on a part-time, retainer or project basis. We learn how your business works and take part in management and board discussions where useful. We handle day-to-day legal matters and bring in specialist counsel when needed. You get continuous, senior-level legal support at a predictable cost.

How we can help

• Fractional general counsel: acting as your company's primary legal advisor, on a part-time, retainer or project basis
• Contract review and negotiation: customer and supplier agreements, SaaS and licensing deals, partnerships and NDAs, plus templates and playbooks your team can use on its own
• Corporate resolutions and records: board and shareholder resolutions, meeting minutes, powers of attorney, corporate filings, and upkeep of corporate books and the cap table
• Corporate compliance policies: AI use, AML/CFT, data protection, information security, whistleblowing, anti-bribery and codes of conduct, drafted to fit your size and risk profile
• Regulatory compliance programs: GDPR, MiCA, AML, the AI Act, DORA and sector-specific rules, with ongoing monitoring of regulatory changes
• Board and management advisory: legal input on market expansion, product launches, corporate transactions and directors' duties
• Transaction support: fundraising, M&A, partnerships and joint ventures, including due diligence and deal documentation
• Employment and contractors: employment and contractor agreements, equity and token incentives, workplace policies and international hiring, with local employment counsel where needed
• Crisis management: first response to data breaches, hacks, regulatory investigations and litigation threats, and coordination of the legal response

Your legal function, without the overhead

As your general counsel, we also manage the legal work that goes beyond our own practice. When a matter needs a specialist or a lawyer in another country, we select, brief and supervise outside counsel through our international network. We keep scope and budgets under control, so you know what you are paying for and why.

We also help you build a legal function that scales with the business. That means standard templates, contract approval workflows and clear escalation rules, so your team can handle routine matters on its own and bring us the ones that matter. When the time comes to hire an in-house lawyer, we help you define the role and manage the transition.

Our approach

We work as part of your team, not as an outside supplier called in only when something goes wrong. We give advice that is practical, timely and written for the people who have to act on it. Our goal is a company that makes decisions with a clear view of the legal risks, keeps its records and policies in order, and is ready for investors, regulators and partners at any time.
