Practice areas
Legal support for cross-border business, Web3, crypto and tech.
This page is a structured overview of what WCR Legal actually does: licensing and compliance, corporate structuring,
contracts, IP/IT, investments, and dispute support. Each area below can be used as a starting point for scoping work.
If your case spans multiple areas (for example: tokenization + corporate setup + website docs), we combine scopes into one roadmap.
Typical entry formats: fixed-scope packs, legal opinions, due diligence modules, or ongoing support.
Typical outcomes we deliver
- Clear structure: jurisdiction, entity setup, and compliance perimeter.
- Contracts and policies tailored to the actual product and risk profile.
- Transaction support: term sheets, DD, closing mechanics and post-closing steps.
- Operationally usable compliance pack (not “paper only”).
If you prefer fixed-scope work, see Legal Products.
If you need ongoing help, see Services.

Process
How we typically run a matter
A simple flow — even when the case is complex and cross-border.
1
Scope & risk perimeter
We map jurisdictions, counterparties, licensing triggers and core risks to avoid surprises later.
2
Roadmap & deliverables
You get a clear roadmap: what we deliver, in what order, and what input is needed from your side.
3
Drafting & negotiation
Documents, negotiations, regulatory prep — with practical controls, not “paper only”.
4
Delivery & handover
Final docs + operational guidance: who does what, what to monitor, and what to update over time.
Navigation
Choose by stage, not by legal jargon
If you are not sure which area applies — start here.
Launch / setup
New entity, first contracts, product docs, basic compliance.
Growth / scaling
Repeatable templates, vendor deals, compliance controls, cross-border expansion.
Investment / M&A
Term sheet, DD readiness, transaction docs and closing mechanics.
Risk / disputes
Urgent issues, counterparties, enforcement, mitigation roadmap.
Approach
What makes our practice areas practical
Not “law in theory” — but deliverables that work in operations and deals.
Cross-border first
We scope matters with jurisdictions, counterparties and enforcement in mind — not after problems appear.
Risk allocation mindset
Contracts, policies and structures are built to allocate liability and reduce exposure across the chain.
Operational compliance
Compliance packs are designed as workflows: onboarding, monitoring, escalation — not “documents in a folder”.
How we scope work
Two ways to engage: products or bespoke services
Practice areas show what we do. Then we either package it into a fixed-scope product, or agree on a custom scope.
When a practice-area approach works best
- Your task spans multiple topics (for example: structuring + website docs + compliance).
- You need ongoing legal support during product development or negotiations.
- You want legal to stay aligned with operations (not just “documents in a folder”).
- You expect multiple iterations, stakeholders, counterparties and rounds of revisions.
If you want a fixed scope with a clear deliverables list, use Products.
Typical combinations clients request
Launch a Web3 product
Corporate & Structuring → Website legal docs → Compliance pack → Licensing roadmap (if required).
Prepare for investors / M&A
IP clean-up → Corporate governance → Due diligence readiness → Transaction docs.
Relocate / restructure
New entity setup → IP routing → Contract updates → Compliance and operational adjustments.
Get banking / partners ready
AML/KYC framework → Vendor contracts → Disclosures and policies → Evidence pack for onboarding.
For geography-specific options, use Jurisdictions.
Need help choosing the right scope?
Send a short message: what you do, who your users/investors are, where you operate, and what you want to achieve in the next 3–12 months.
We will propose a structured roadmap and a clear deliverables list.
If you already know your direction (license / tokenization / website docs / IP), mention it — we will tailor the first step accordingly.
Good starting points:
- “We are launching a platform and need website documents + compliance basics.”
- “We are tokenizing an asset and want a jurisdiction + structure + terms.”
- “We are negotiating an investment and need term sheet + DD + closing docs.”
- “We need contracts/templates for partners, suppliers or enterprise clients.”
