About
WCR Legal – a focused legal partner for crypto, Web3 and technology projects.
We help founders, investors and platforms make clear, realistic decisions about jurisdictions, licensing,
tokenization, corporate structures and IP. Our work sits between classical legal practice and the reality of
building products in fast-moving markets.
WCR Legal works with projects across the EU, UAE, AIFC, El Salvador and other hubs where crypto and
technology businesses operate today.
How we think about legal work
We treat legal as a tool for execution – not as an obstacle or a marketing slogan.
- Start from product, users, investors and real constraints.
- Translate regulatory language into project logic and flows.
- Design structures that banks, regulators and partners can accept.
- Document what actually happens in your business – not a theoretical model.
Who we are
A small, focused legal team – not a generic full-service firm.
WCR Legal sits between classical international legal practice and the reality of crypto and technology markets.
We prefer a limited number of projects where we can be deeply involved, rather than a large volume of
templated work.
What WCR Legal is
WCR Legal is a boutique legal practice with a core focus on:
- Crypto and digital asset licensing (CASP, VASP, DASP and related regimes).
- Tokenization and RWA structures – from idea to investor-ready documentation.
- Cross-border corporate and holding structures for technology groups.
- Website / platform documentation, IP and software rights.
- Compliance frameworks: AML / KYC, onboarding, risk and internal policies.
Our work is usually long-term: many clients stay with us across several products, funding rounds and
jurisdiction changes.
How we are organised
- A core legal team responsible for strategy, structuring and drafting.
- Trusted local partners in key hubs when physical presence or local counsel is required.
- Dedicated coordination for complex, multi-jurisdiction projects.
- Integration with your product, operations and investor relations teams where needed.
You get a single, consistent view of your project across jurisdictions – not a collection of isolated local opinions.
Focus
What we spend most of our time on
The same themes appear across almost all projects we work with. Below are the areas where we are most useful.
Jurisdictions & licensing routes
Helping you choose and combine hubs such as the EU, UAE, AIFC, El Salvador and others – and mapping your
model to specific licenses or sandbox regimes when needed.
Tokenization & RWA structures
Designing SPVs, legal wrappers and documentation so that tokenized assets make sense for regulators,
banks and investors – not only on-chain.
Cross-border corporate setups
Building holding and operating structures that reconcile business reality, banking, investor expectations
and local regulation.
Website & platform legal stack
Terms of Use, Privacy Policies, cookies and disclaimers written for real products – including Web3 and
tokenization elements – not generic templates.
IP, software & brand rights
Consolidating code, brands and data into a structure that survives due diligence and jurisdiction changes.
Compliance frameworks
AML / KYC policies, onboarding, risk management and business continuity tailored to your business model
and the expectations of regulators and banks.
Clients
Who we typically work with
Our clients are usually past the idea stage: they have a product, users or investors – or a clear plan to
reach them – and need a realistic legal path.
Founders & teams
Crypto, Web3 & fintech projects
Exchanges, OTC desks, tokenization and RWA platforms, wallets, payment and infrastructure products
that need a clear jurisdiction and licensing strategy.
Technology businesses
SaaS & data-driven platforms
SaaS products, marketplaces and data platforms with cross-border users, complex IP and compliance needs,
including those adding Web3 or tokenization components.
Capital
Investors & holding structures
Funds, family offices and holding companies structuring their participation in crypto and technology
projects, or reorganising existing portfolios.
Approach
How we usually work with a project
The exact path depends on your situation, but many engagements follow a similar structure.
Step 1
Initial mapping
We map your current or planned model to jurisdictions, licensing regimes, tokenization logic,
IP and compliance – and highlight key decision points.
Step 2
Structure & roadmap
We propose a realistic structure and phased roadmap: what can be done now, what should wait,
and what is optional depending on funding and traction.
Step 3
Implementation
We draft documents, coordinate with local partners and – where needed – communicate with regulators,
banks or investors.
Step 4
Ongoing support
As your product and markets evolve, we adjust structures and documentation – instead of treating
legal work as a one-off event.
Why WCR Legal
What clients usually value in working with us
We are not the right fit for every project. Below are the reasons why teams that do work with us tend to stay.
Clarity instead of buzzwords
- We avoid marketing language in legal documents and communication.
- We explain trade-offs and risks in a way founders and investors can act on.
- We give you realistic expectations on timelines and regulator / bank reactions.
You will know what is known, what is uncertain, and where the real risk sits.
Consistency across jurisdictions
- We maintain a single structural logic across your entities and licenses.
- We coordinate local counsel instead of leaving you to reconcile conflicting advice.
- We ensure your documentation, website and investor materials tell the same story.
This is especially important when your project touches several regulatory regimes at once.
Tell us what you are building.
Whether you are choosing a jurisdiction, planning a tokenization, preparing for licensing or reorganising
an existing structure, we can help you move from uncertainty to a concrete legal plan.
A brief description of your model, geography and timeline is enough for a first conversation. We do not
require formal memos or decks at the start.
Helpful to include in your first message:
- What your project does (in one or two sentences).
- Where your users, investors or assets are located.
- Which decisions you are considering now (jurisdiction, license, structure, tokenization).
- Rough timing: what you want to achieve in the next 6–12 months.
From there we can suggest a realistic path and, if appropriate, a format of working together.
