Crypto & Blockchain
Counsel for programmable assets and the rails beneath them.
Crypto sits across securities, payments, tax, and IP — sometimes all at once. We help token issuers, exchanges, custodians, wallet providers, and protocol teams ship products that are defensible on day one and durable through the next regulatory cycle.
What we do
- Token classification & legal opinions
- Whitepaper & disclosure review
- Exchange & VASP licensing
- DeFi protocol structuring
- Stablecoin issuance & reserve frameworks
- Custody & wallet compliance
- DAO formation & governance
- Cross-border treasury & FEMA strategy
Tokens, with the right legal frame
Whether a token is a security, a utility, a payment instrument, or something the regulator hasn’t named yet, the answer changes everything downstream — disclosure, listing eligibility, tax treatment, who can hold it, and how it moves. We give clients a defensible classification and a record that holds up to scrutiny later.
Operating within the licensing perimeter
Exchanges, custodians, and on-ramps now sit inside an active licensing regime in most major markets. We map your activity to the right authorisations, prepare submissions, and stand alongside you through the supervisory dialogue.
Decentralisation, structured honestly
DAOs and DeFi protocols don’t escape law by being on-chain. We help teams structure governance, treasuries, and contributor relationships so the legal form matches the operational reality — and so future regulators see something they recognise.
