Our cases
Preparing a token sale
A Web3 startup planned a token sale and EU market entry but was unsure how MiCA applied to it.
What we did
- Reviewed the product and classified the token
- Prepared the white paper, AML/KYC policy and investor agreements
Licensing agreements for a blockchain game
A blockchain gaming startup needed to understand licensing requirements in the USA, EU and UK.
What we did
- Advised on the laws of several countries
- Drafted licence agreements for users and partners
- Protected the client’s interests in negotiations
Acquisition of a VASP-licensed crypto company
Investors were acquiring a European crypto company with a VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) license.
What we did
- Kept the deal compliant with all legal requirements at every stage
- Helped the parties reach a mutually beneficial agreement
Market entry for an iGaming platform
An iGaming company was preparing to launch its platform and enter a regulated market.
What we did
- Built the launch legal strategy and compliance
- Protected the client’s intellectual property
- Reduced risks in contracts and the operating model
Choosing jurisdictions for a VPN service
A VPN service needed a country for registration with clear taxation and strong data protection.
What we did
- Analysed taxes, political climate and reputation of countries
- Selected jurisdictions without strict VPN licensing
Holding structure for an IT startup
Before raising investment, an IT startup needed a holding structure to protect its software and reduce taxes.
What we did
- Set up the holding structure and protected the IP
- Prepared the structure for investment and scaling
Canada MSB registration for a crypto payment platform
A European fiat-to-crypto exchange platform planned to enter Canada with no local entity and unclear FINTRAC requirements.
What we did
- Drafted the AML/ATF program and assembled the FINTRAC package
- Filed the application and handled communication with the regulator
- Prepared the client for Canadian bank onboarding
Structuring a CPA network
A CPA network running financial offers operated as an informal group: payouts went through personal cards, and a payment provider had frozen funds twice.

- Prepared contracts with advertisers and webmasters
- Introduced webmaster KYC, sanctions screening and a payout policy
