Practice Areas

Legal infrastructure for the on-chain generation

We don't just advise on Web3 — we live in it. Every practice area is built around the real legal challenges facing NFT founders, protocol builders, and token teams.


01§

Token Law

Token & Protocol Structuring

Structure your token before the SEC does it for you.

Token launches sit at the intersection of securities law, tax strategy, and jurisdictional arbitrage. Get it wrong and you're looking at enforcement actions, investor liability, and a protocol that can't list on any major exchange.

We work with founders from whitepaper to mainnet — analyzing token utility, structuring SAFT and SAFE agreements, advising on Reg D and Reg S exemptions, and building the legal architecture that lets your protocol scale.

What we deliver

  • Token classification analysis
  • SAFT / SAFE drafting
  • Reg D / Reg S exemption strategy
  • Jurisdictional structuring
  • Exchange listing legal prep
  • Investor disclosure documents

02

Protocol Governance

Protocol Governance & Formation

Your protocol needs a legal wrapper. We build the right one.

Unincorporated protocol teams expose contributors to unlimited personal liability. A Wyoming LLC, Marshall Islands foundation, or Cayman structure gives your community legal standing without compromising decentralization.

We draft operating agreements that mirror your on-chain governance, advise on multi-sig structures, and build contributor frameworks that protect your core team while keeping the community in control.

What we deliver

  • Entity selection & formation
  • Operating agreement drafting
  • Governance framework design
  • Contributor agreements
  • Multi-sig legal structure
  • Treasury management policy

Smart Contracts

Smart Contract Legal Review

Code is law — but law is also law.

Smart contracts execute automatically, but they don't exist in a legal vacuum. Bugs, exploits, and ambiguous logic can create liability for developers, protocol contributors, and token holders — even when the code does exactly what it says.

We review your contracts for legal exposure, draft complementary off-chain agreements that mirror your on-chain logic, and advise on upgrade mechanisms, admin key structures, and emergency pause functions from a liability perspective.

What we deliver

  • Legal exposure audit
  • Off-chain agreement drafting
  • Upgrade mechanism review
  • Admin key liability analysis
  • Bug bounty legal framework
  • User terms & conditions

NFT & IP

NFT IP & Licensing

Your art deserves the same protection as your code.

NFT IP is a legal frontier. Who owns the underlying artwork? What rights does a token holder actually have? Can your community create derivative works? These questions don't have obvious answers — and getting them wrong can destroy a project.

We build IP frameworks for NFT collections: rights assignment agreements, licensing structures (commercial rights, CC0, custom licenses), creator agreements, and enforcement strategies when copycats appear.

What we deliver

  • IP rights framework
  • Licensing structure design
  • Creator & artist agreements
  • Derivative works policy
  • Cease & desist enforcement
  • Trademark registration strategy

How We Work

From first call to on-chain

Free Consultation

We start with a free 60-minute call to understand your project, timeline, and risk tolerance. No billable hours until we've agreed on scope.

02

Legal Architecture

We map your legal exposure and design a structure that fits your protocol — not a template from a traditional firm that's never held an NFT.

03

Documentation

We draft every agreement, disclosure, and governance document your project needs — in plain language your community can actually read.

04

Ongoing Counsel

Web3 law changes fast. We stay on retainer for protocol updates, regulatory shifts, and the inevitable moment someone tries to copy your collection.
