Approach
Adrian Vael Managing Partner
“We won't take on a structure we can't defend before a regulator and in court. If we take it on, we see it through — with the depth a major firm would bring, without the major-firm bill.”

Digital assets only

Not "crypto too." A pure specialization where generalists keep a checkbox. Counsel who reads on-chain without it being explained.

Transparent pricing

Fixed-fee packages with defined scope, deliverables and SLAs — published. No default "price on request."

Law plus forensics

Recovery built on blockchain forensics and a freezing-order playbook. The window is hours, not days — we work to it.

Insights

Practitioner breakdowns — not press releases.

Regulatory · 2026

MiCA grandfathering ends 1 July 2026: a conversion roadmap

What legacy VASPs must do to convert to a CASP authorization in time, by member state — capital, dossier and timeline.

— Victor Olsen
Recovery · 2026

Stablecoin freezes: how issuer coordination actually works

The request chain, the forensic report, the law-enforcement case number — and why the first two hours decide the outcome.

— Glen Sorensen
Licensing · 2025

VARA, ADGM or AIFC: choosing a gateway, not just a licence

Capital, fees, timelines and credibility compared — so the jurisdiction fits the business model, not the other way round.
