Crypto-Assets

We provide our clients with comprehensive legal advice on cryptocurrencies and digital assets, with an expert focus on the current European legislation, especially in the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) and DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act). Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of European regulations, we can help our clients navigate the complex legal framework and implement the legislative requirements into their business and operational strategies.

MICA advice and training

The MiCA regulation represents a revolutionary change in regulating digital assets in the European market. We provide our clients with expert advice focused on all the key aspects that MiCA brings. We help clients identify whether their activities are subject to MiCA regulation and provide a detailed analysis of the changes they must implement to comply with the new rules. We advise on the following areas:

  • Registration and Licensing Obligations: We help clients understand whether their activities are classified as providing cryptocurrency services and whether they need to be registered or licensed under MICA requirements. We also prepare all necessary documents and guide them through the licensing process.
  • Requirements for cryptocurrency service providers: We guide clients to understand all regulatory requirements that cryptocurrency service providers must meet and other related services, such as investor protection, disclosure obligations or proper maintenance of client accounts.
  • Risk management and compliance program: Our firm supports establishing robust compliance programs that reflect regulatory obligations under MICA and cover all aspects of risk management. We help clients design an effective management system that complies with regulatory standards while contributing to minimising the risks associated with crypto assets.
  • Information disclosure and user protection: MICA greatly emphasises transparency and user protection. Our team advises clients on properly informing end-users and investors about the nature of the products offered, the associated risks, and the opportunities they present. We also assist clients with documentation related to crypto asset declarations and other mandatory disclosures.

We have prepared complete and comprehensive documentation for several financial institutions and securities dealers, but we have also prepared documentation for a company subject to MICA regulation.
