Legal structure

The launch of a new platform or game can be structured in many ways, from community owned DAOs to for-profit companies. Our experts guide you to the right setup for your project and assist with drafting related contract and general terms. 

Regulatory compliance

Special features such as in-game currencies, utility tokensor gambling elements require careful analysis to ensure a compliant gaming experience. Also, handling of personal data of gamers requires a proper privacy framework which we can assist in setting up for your metaverse, dApp or gaming platform. 

Tax structuring

From VAT and capital gains tax to withholding tax, ensure you understand the tax consequences of the in-app purchases and other revenue streams as the operater as well as for the users. Our crypto tax experts will help you get the complete picture of your tax obligations so that you can plan efficiently.
