Everything the structure needs, in four workstreams

We help you establish a legal structure that is efficient, meets regulatory requirements and makes sense to the banks, investors and regulators who review it.

Corporate architecture

Design of holding and operating companies, management entities, foundations, trusts and multi-jurisdiction groups.

Ownership and governance

Shareholding structures, voting rights, board arrangements, founder protections, investor rights and succession planning.

Cross-border design

Cross-jurisdiction allocation of revenue, IP, treasury and token-related activity, with substance and reporting built in.

Implementation

Entity and foundation setup, governance documents, statutory reporting, maintenance and account opening.

From scope review to a full setup

Step 1

Scope review

Inventory of owners, revenue sources, decision makers and bottlenecks, and the evidence investors and banks will ask for.

Step 2

Design

Structure options weighed against substance, reporting and tax, then one recommendation.

Step 3

Implement

Entity formation, private foundation setup where appropriate, governance documents, account-opening support.

Step 4

Maintain pack

Annual maintenance, statutory reporting, governance updates and adjustments as the business changes.

Corporate structuring for regulated digital asset businesses

We design your entities, ownership and governance for your target jurisdictions, then set the structure up and maintain it.

The structure is the first thing every later review reads

Fundraising

Investors read the cap table and the group chart before the deck.

KYB and bank onboarding

Beneficial ownership has to trace cleanly through every entity.

Licensing

Regulators ask who controls the licensed entity, and from where.

FAQ

No. We design a tax-aware structure and coordinate qualified local tax advisers wherever a formal opinion is required. The opinion comes from them. Making sure the structure holds together across jurisdictions is our job.
Usually not. The scope review starts from what exists and asks what it has to survive next: a round, a listing, a bank, a licence. Many engagements end with two or three changes rather than a new group.
Where it is the right vehicle, yes. Private foundation setup sits in scope alongside governance documents and ongoing maintenance. Whether a foundation fits depends on what the token does and who controls it, and that is decided in the design phase rather than assumed.
We work across the EU (MiCA), the US (GENIUS Act), the UK (FCA), Singapore (MAS), Hong Kong (SFC), Bermuda (BMA), Dubai (VARA) and Abu Dhabi (ADGM). Where formal local advice is required, we coordinate the local legal and corporate-services providers so you have one point of contact.
Engagements start from $15,000. Scope depends on the number of entities and jurisdictions, and on whether formation and ongoing maintenance are included.

Plan the structure before the next reviewer asks for it.

One call with an advisor. We map owners, revenue flows and what the structure needs to survive next, then scope the engagement.
