100%
Success rate

Every client who completed our licensing engagement received their CASP licence.

Our approach

Structure over shortcuts. Compliance that lasts.

We don't believe in grey-area workarounds. Every solution we deliver is built to pass regulator scrutiny — not just at application, but through the full operational lifecycle.

01

Root-cause analysis first

Before advising on structure or jurisdiction, we deeply understand your business model — because the right answer depends entirely on what you're actually building.

02

Regulator relationships

We work directly with Latvijas Banka, MFSA, KNF, and other national competent authorities — knowing what they expect means fewer surprises in the review process.

03

Long-term partnership

Most of our clients stay with us after licensing. We are their outsourced compliance team, adapting as regulations evolve and their business grows.

04

Multidisciplinary depth

Our team combines lawyers, ex-regulator staff, AML specialists, IT risk experts, and accountants — so you deal with one partner, not four separate firms.

People who know
regulation.

The team

The people behind your compliance.

Our specialists have backgrounds in regulatory law, financial supervision, IT security, and accounting — united by a single focus on EU crypto compliance.

Our values

What drives how we work.

01

Precision

We get the details right. Regulatory documents are binary — they satisfy regulators or they don't. We build everything to pass.

02

Integrity

We decline work that requires grey-area structures. Our advice is what we genuinely believe — not what the client wants to hear.

03

Partnership

We measure success by client outcomes, not billable hours. Most of our work comes from long-term relationships and referrals.
