Web3 & Blockchain Protocols
Legal strategy for Layer 1s, Layer 2s, and blockchain protocols -from token launches and governance to multi-jurisdiction compliance.
Overview
Regulators don't yet have clear categories for blockchain protocols. That creates both risk and opportunity. You need a legal structure that works with exchanges, satisfies regulators, and attracts institutional capital -without compromising decentralization. We help you build that structure from pre-launch through mainnet and beyond: the right entity mix across jurisdictions, token classification that holds up in regulatory scrutiny, governance that's legally binding, and compliance that actually scales.
Key Challenges
Token classification uncertainty across jurisdictions
Balancing decentralization with regulatory compliance
Foundation vs. DAO governance structure decisions
Exchange listing requirements and legal opinions
Treasury management across multiple entities
Contributor and core team compensation structuring
