Product overview

Additionally, the firm offers jurisdiction-specific crypto tax advisory guides (Brazil, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bermuda, Belgium, and 40+ other countries) as informational resources. The company also provides corporate structuring, GDPR compliance, banking support, and cross-border execution services. The services are delivered through offices in Estonia (Tallinn), Lithuania (Vilnius), Czech Republic (Prague), and Poland (Warsaw) by a team of 50+ legal professionals.
