Field experts, advisors and operators behind every incorporation, raise and token launch.
What is web3 legal advisory?
It covers the legal questions specific to crypto companies: where the entity sits, what the token is in legal terms, what the token sale says to buyers, which regulators reach the activity, and what exchanges and counterparties need to see in the documents. It uses the same corporate and regulatory law as any other business, applied to products that run on-chain.
Do I need to incorporate before raising?
Yes, in almost every case. Whether you're raising on a SAFE, SAFT, token warrant or an equity round, the investor needs a counterparty, and without an entity that counterparty is you personally. The harder question is which entity, and where. The company that suits an equity round usually shouldn't be the one issuing your token, so setting up for the raise alone often means forming a second entity later and redoing the paperwork.
Which jurisdiction should my company be in?
Advice and filings from the same team, across nine jurisdictions. Which jurisdiction you need depends on what you're building: token issuance, treasury, banking and hiring all pull differently, and the answer is a trade-off rather than a clean win. We work out which one fits your plan, then do the paperwork.
