Practice

Four desks. One file.

We do not run a book, a wallet or a venue. We write the legal file around those things when German law has something to say.

Reichstag in Berlin, federal legislature

Art. 01

MiCA and CASP mapping

Perimeter memos, white-paper reviews, service inventories. We say whether an activity looks like crypto-asset service under the Regulation, and what that forces in Germany.

Interior glass dome of the Munich Palace of Justice

Art. 02

Token classification

Instrument tests, e-money features, NFT facts that actually matter. A rename on a website does not move the box.

Detlev-Rohwedder-Haus, Federal Ministry of Finance, Berlin

Art. 03

Tax and books

Private disposal rules, employee tokens, staking records. We work with your Steuerberater; we do not replace one.

Kammergericht building in Berlin

Art. 04

Letters and disputes

Supervisor mail, freeze notices, contract claims. Drafts stay in the tone of the file that will be read later.

Frankfurt am Main skyline across the river

Art. 05

Custody and platform contracts

Key-control clauses, SLA language, insolvency fallbacks. We mark what German custody talk usually leaves blank.

Federal Court of Justice palace detail in Karlsruhe

Art. 06

Corporate setup for crypto firms

GmbH papers, board minutes, shareholder tokens. Structure first, token second — the same order as the statute.
