Helping you build what others haven’t

In blockchain, nothing is standard—and the regulatory roadmap is oftentimes unclear. Here’s how we help you push the boundaries, stay protected, and ensure your products stand up to scrutiny.

Blockchain institutional knowledge: We’ve helped shape Canada’s blockchain ecosystem from the ground up—advising on some of Canada’s first tokenized financings, early exchange registrations, and precedent-setting regulatory engagements. Our team includes former in-house counsel to leading crypto trading platforms and financial institutions, giving you the insider perspective needed to build with intention, not guesswork.

Integrated regulatory support: Today’s digital asset ventures are subject to a complex matrix of overlapping regulatory regimes: securities, payments, anti-money laundering (AML), consumer protection, and more. We help you bring those requirements into alignment across your tech stack, platform design, and growth model, offering the mile-high view you need to stay fast, focused, and fully compliant.

Built-in credibility and trust: As a qualified legal provider to Canada’s Big Six banks and a long-time advisor to regulators, fintech scaleups, Web3 platforms, and payment networks, we bring a rare, end-to-end view of how innovation moves through financial systems. Whether you're advancing policy, launching products, or scaling operations, we help you align innovation with stakeholder expectations and long-term credibility.

Global execution, local alignment: Whether you're scaling a global token offering, integrating with international custodians, or adapting your structure for cross-border operations, we help you align with regulatory expectations and business realities wherever your business takes you. With offices across Canada, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, we offer globally integrated support that’s built for cross-market complexity—not just minimum entry requirements.

Financial markets and payments are evolving. We are here to help your businesses translate novel ideas into real, resilient products that meet both the moment—and the regulations. Whether you are integrating digital assets into your traditional business model, scaling a new trading platform or designing a first-of-its-kind token, our advice is built to match the pace and complexity of your world.
