What dMTV Global does

dMTV Global is a privately held international legal, corporate, tax, and commercial advisory firm headquartered in Singapore, with regional offices in Valletta (Malta), Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi (Vietnam). The firm was founded by Federico Vasoli — who opened the original Vietnamese branch in 2007 and previously was a partner in the Italian law firm dMTV - de Masi Taddei Vasoli in Milan — and operates through its primary legal entity dMTV Global Pte Ltd (UEN 201823283C, incorporated 2018) and a wholly-owned Malta subsidiary, dMTV Europe Limited (company registration C87968). The client base spans European companies expanding into Asia, Vietnamese clients going international, investment and real-estate funds, family businesses and high net worth individuals, and tech start-ups in the digital economy.

The service portfolio is organized around Legal and Tax Advisory, Corporate Services, Litigation, Intellectual Property Rights, Residency and Citizenship Programmes, and a specialized Digital Ledger Technology (DLT) and Virtual Financial Asset (VFA) practice covering blockchain, digital tokens, and cryptocurrency projects. The firm has supported over 200 digital token and blockchain projects, primarily through the Singapore-based practice led by Dr Giacomo Merello, who combines traditional regulatory strategy with credentials from UC Berkeley, University of Hong Kong, Harvard Law, and the IMF. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is professional services delivered by a team of tens of lawyers and other professionals qualified in multiple jurisdictions. Specific practice areas include international contracts, foreign direct investments, asset protection, immigration, international tax, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, trusts and inheritances, and digital asset structuring.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements on a quote-based, non-publicly disclosed pricing model. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with distribution flowing through chamber of commerce leadership roles (ICHAM, EuroCham Vietnam, Singapore Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam, Finance Malta, Malta Chamber of Commerce, Malta Business Network, and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore), academic lecturing at MIP Politecnico di Milano and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, and published thought leadership. No external funding rounds have been disclosed, and the firm is independently owned by its founding principals.
