Ship your token without waking up to an SEC letter.
MiCA went live. The SEC is suing anything that moves. Your dev team needs answers this sprint, not a 40-page memo next month. We read the whitepaper, run the node, and have drafted DAO wrappers while most firms were still Googling Ethereum.

You're in the right place if any of these sound familiar.
- 01
You're launching a token and nobody can tell you straight if it's a security.
- 02
Your DAO wrapper was drafted by Twitter threads and Discord mods.
- 03
You've got US users and you're hoping nobody notices.
- 04
Your exchange listing is blocked on a 'legal opinion' you can't get.
- 05
MiCA kicks in and you haven't read a single paragraph.
- 06
Your dev team is waiting on legal. Your runway isn't.
— That's where we come in.
What happens if you ignore this?
Three scenarios we've seen play out. Each one is fixable before it happens, catastrophic after.
Airdrop to US wallets without a securities memo.
SEC classifies as an unregistered securities offering. Exchanges delist. Founders face personal liability.
DAO ships governance token with no legal wrapper.
Members become an unincorporated association. Personal liability for every proposal that passes. Treasury frozen on first dispute.
Exchange listing stalls on missing MiCA classification.
Token sits unlisted for months. Community morale tanks. Competitors ship first.
Legal infrastructure for the stack you're actually building.

How it plays out in practice.
Anonymized, but every detail is real.
Needed a MiCA-compliant restructure in 5 weeks before a funding close. Investors wanted to see a legal opinion before signing. Their existing counsel quoted a 12-week engagement.
We ran the entity + token analysis in parallel instead of sequentially. Delivered the restructure memo in week 3, documented the governance migration in week 4, and had exchange opinions in hand by week 4.
Closed the round on schedule. Passed investor diligence without a single redline on the legal structure. Listed on two additional exchanges within the next quarter.
“They delivered a week early and the docs read like a product spec. My devs actually understood them.”
Legacy T&Cs written by a general practitioner in 2021 — no coverage for cross-chain bridges, no royalty-flow terms, and no limitation of liability. Every enterprise deal added 6+ weeks of procurement redlines.
Rebuilt the T&Cs from scratch as a two-track document (consumer + B2B). Added explicit handling for chain splits, rollback events, and royalty-routing failures. Pre-cleared with 3 enterprise buyers' procurement teams.
New procurement cycles dropped to under 10 days. Two enterprise deals that had been stuck for a quarter closed in the following month.
“First counsel I've met who could tell me what a rollback actually does to a royalty split.”
Why founders pick us over Big-Law or their generalist lawyer.
Sprint-speed turnarounds
10-day legal opinions, not 10-week ones.
We work to your release schedule. Rush tiers available when the exchange listing is tomorrow.
Technical fluency
Read whitepapers, run nodes, argue with dev teams (respectfully).
We've deployed contracts ourselves. Your engineers won't have to translate for us.
Fixed-fee transparency
Quote before kickoff. No hourly surprises.
One scope, one price. Add-ons priced separately and signed off before we start.
Senior-only
You talk to partners, not paralegals.
Every call, every memo, every Slack reply. No delegation to juniors learning on your dime.
The practice leads.
Who you'll actually work with — not a partner who shows up for the pitch and disappears.

The questions founders actually ask on the call.
No legalese. If the answer is 'it depends,' we'll tell you what it depends on.
Because they're probably not a crypto specialist, and you don't need them to become one. We work alongside your existing counsel on crypto-specific questions — token classification, MiCA compliance, DAO wrappers. No turf war.
Fixed-fee packages starting at €2,500 for scoped projects. Monthly retainers from €3,500. We quote the full fee before kickoff — no hourly billing surprises. Full pricing discussed on the call.
Legal opinion in 10 business days. Rush tiers (48–72h) available for listing deadlines. DAO wrapper drafting in 2 weeks. Most clients are fully onboarded within 5 business days of signing.
Both. We're qualified lawyers (EU + UK bar) who've been in crypto since 2019. You can meet the leads on the Team page — bar admissions, practice areas, and LinkedIn profiles all listed.
Yes, with proper structure. We can engage through a foundation or dev co. entity, and maintain confidentiality on our end. We'll need to meet KYC for our own files, but that doesn't go public.
Book the free 30-min call first. We'll pressure-test whether you actually have a problem, and if so, map remediation options. Sometimes the fix is a redesign, sometimes it's a migration, sometimes it's nothing. You'll leave knowing which.
