Lawbeam Ltd

What Lawbeam Ltd does

LawBEAM Ltd. is a London-headquartered boutique legal practice registered in England and Wales (company number 13582123) that provides legal and regulatory advisory services specialised in the crypto and digital asset sector. The firm is permitted to provide unreserved legal services under the Legal Services Act 2007 and is registered with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA number 836340). Its service portfolio spans regulatory registrations and authorisations (FCA and international), digital asset and token projects, decentralised finance (DeFi) compliance, NFT legal considerations (including IP and ownership), financial regulatory compliance, payments and e-money authorisations, business structuring, and corporate and commercial law. Coverage extends from London through partner-led presences in Dubai (UAE), Hong Kong (Asia Pacific), South Africa, and Bengaluru (India).

The firm's core technology is professional legal advisory rather than a software product. Its only digital tool is the UK Cryptoasset Perimeter Scanner, a free self-service online questionnaire launched in February 2026 that produces a preliminary, indicative view of whether a business is likely to require FCA authorisation under the new UK cryptoasset regime (full effect 25 October 2027, application window opens 30 September 2026). No proprietary AI/ML, API, SDK, or integration capabilities are disclosed.

LawBEAM operates a sales-led, direct engagement go-to-market model targeting crypto and digital asset firms (exchanges, token issuers, DeFi protocols, NFT platforms), fintech and payment companies, and traditional financial institutions expanding into digital assets. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees on a quote-driven basis, with a free 30-minute consultation as the lead-generation entry point. The firm is privately held and founder-led by Roshi Sharma, with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or M&A activity.
