Areas of Practice
Crypto Exchange Lisiting
We offer a package to prepare your ICO for listing on major exchanges. In particular, we draft and issue written advice required by crypto exchanges for listing.
Know your customer (KYC)
KYC is crucial in the fight against Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing.
We give you advice on how to implement an efficient KYC process adapted to the risks of your business and depending on the jurisdiction you operate. We provide you with guidelines and specific frameworks to implement. A smooth KYC / AML process is important not only to protect your business but also for your customers to enjoy a smooth and secured experience.
We also work with partners that propose a full solution to onboard your customers, and will work with you in order to find the most suitable solution for your needs.

antimoney laundering & sanctions
Virtual currencies have been under a lot of regulatory scrutiny worldwide and most of the regulators are trying to set up controls around financial crime risks associated to them.
The 5th Money Laundering Directive is in final stages of approval and requires EU Member States to bring certain virtual currencies service providers under EU anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist finance (AML/CTF) regulations.
We advise clients by identifying the applicable mandatory Anti Money-Laundering and Sanctions Regulations, and assist with the necessary implementing steps including -
- Setting up of the appropriate framework;
- Creating controls to mitigate potential risks;
- Building up policies and procedures;
- Monitoring risks and creating tools; and
- Monitoring transactions.
