What it is
- Goal: A focused workshop with your key stakeholders and our crypto experts and financial market lawyers, is the most efficient way to get to understand the best legal framework for your project. The goal is that you have all the information required to take a go / no-go decision on setting up your project in Germany, and have a clear road map to execute if you decide do go ahead.
- Preparation: To maximize the outcome of our discussion, we will prepare the workshop based on your business plan, whitepaper or similar documents.
- 2h workshop (online or in-person): In the workshop, we dig deeper on the details and goals of the virtual asset services, exchange or brokerage and provide you with different structuring options, current best practices as well as regulatory restrictions. Based on your vision, the goal is always to conclude whether Germany, Switzerland or another country is the right place for the project and if so, what the concrete next steps would be for the launch of your project.
- Action Plan: After the workshop, you will receive an overview of the further procedure, including next steps, timelines and fee estimates.
