General Counsel
We offer general counsel legal services for cryptocurrency and blockchain businesses. Small to medium sized businesses choose lawyers with experience across multiple businesses when they do not to have an in-house legal department. This is known as “fractional general counsel.” These lawyera use their specialized experience to solve the problems of the business. These lawyers then find, hire, and manage outside counsel to solve the remaining challenges, all to benefit the business.
Crypto
Company Formation
Investors and Government Regulators look at the document filings of the client when judging the business. The quality of the business documents directly affects the value of the business. The documents drafted by the lawyers will affect how how the business client fares when “crypto winter” storms threaten.
Common errors are made when a business is formed. Employees download “form” documents thinking they are all the same, only to later have the business in serious trouble.
