A token sale is a public fundraising event that regulators classify each in their own way — from an unregulated utility sale to a securities offering. Getting the structure wrong converts into personal liability for founders. We package token sales end-to-end: structure, documents, compliance, listing.

Scope of work

  • Token legal qualification (utility / security / payment) per target market;
  • Issuer jurisdiction selection and setup: foundation or company, IP holding, treasury;
  • Document pack: SAFT, Token Sale Terms, Privacy Policy, risk disclosures;
  • Investor gating and KYC/AML design — the honest map of where you cannot sell (US, restricted lists), MiCA rules for the EU;
  • Legal Opinions for exchange and launchpad listings; responses to their compliance questionnaires;
  • Tokenomics from the legal side: vesting, lockups, team allocations.

Process

We start with a one-page legal scheme of the raise; once agreed, documents follow within 2–4 weeks, and we stay through listing. Post-factum packaging of already-completed sales is also common — cleaner late than never, and cheaper than an investor dispute.

FAQ

Do we need a legal opinion for listing?
Most serious venues request one from independent counsel. We issue opinions accepted by major exchanges and launchpads.

Where do most projects incorporate now?
