Digital Asset & Crypto Businesses.

Fixed-fee crypto business advice, regulatory scoping and contracts.

Who we advise

Fixed-fee commercial legal advice for crypto founders, exchanges, custody providers and digital-asset platforms. We assess the business model, token rights and proposed activities to scope contracts and regulatory questions. The scope and fee are agreed before work starts; this service does not include investment advice, asset recovery or litigation.

What we do for digital asset & crypto businesses

• Regulatory positioning

  Product-level analysis of financial-product characterisation and licensing needs.

• AML/CTF scoping

  Identify registration and program questions against the proposed activities. AUSTRAC registration and financial services licensing are separate regimes; specialist implementation is scoped separately where required.

• Customer terms

  Exchange, custody and staking terms of use calibrated to Australian consumer law.

Examples we're pulled in on

• AFSL analysis for tokens and staking products
• AUSTRAC registration and AML/CTF obligations for designated virtual-asset services
• Custody and stablecoin structuring
• Current digital-asset platform requirements and applicable transition arrangements

FAQs

Is our token a financial product?

Often the answer is 'it depends on how the product is structured' — we work through the analysis with you before you go to market.

Does AUSTRAC registration replace an AFSL?

No. Financial services licensing and anti-money laundering obligations are separate assessments. Registration under one regime does not establish compliance with the other.

Do you recover stolen crypto or handle litigation?

No. This service is for business advice and contract drafting, review and negotiation. We do not provide asset recovery, forensic tracing, litigation or investment recommendations.

Can you work for a fixed fee?

Yes. Send a summary of your business model, intended users, jurisdictions and draft documents. We confirm whether we can assist and agree the scope and fixed fee upfront.
