The Counsel Services (TCS) provides Web3 and Virtual Assets advisory services, corporate and commercial legal solutions, CSP and risk advisory services, streamlined procurement of golden visas, and expert guidance in establishing regulated entities.
Whether an already existing structure whereby expansion into the UAE is required, a new activity line (such as an NFT launch or a token offering for an already existing project / business) or an entirely new entity and/or structure (with only one or multiple activity lines), TCS can assist you to create an optimal structure for your project and set it up for you.
Professional guidance and comprehensive assistance with obtaining necessary third-party licenses and approvals. We work closely with all authorities issuing any Web3 or virtual asset related license in the UAE and the Regulators behind these. We can also assist with obtaining VARA licenses wherever necessary.
Just as with any business, but maybe even more so for any web3 or virtual asset related business looking to open or operate in or from the UAE, legal and compliance is extremely important. In addition to the set up, TCS can prepare any legal or compliance documents the business may require and advise on proper ongoing compliance measures that need to be taken, working closely with the client to implement these.
Provided by TCS directly or by a web3 and blockchain specialist, we are able to offer our clients professional support for developing a robust and strategic go-to-market or growth / expansion plan, including goal analysis, user targeting, value proposition definition, blockchain technology selection, user experience creation, community involvement, assistance with getting listed etc.
The technology, data, and intellectual property associated with a project, represents an invaluable asset for any business, but even more so for any tech-related business. The intellectual property of a client can be adequately safeguarded and protected accordingly.
Building the right corporate structure and restructuring obsolete or incomplete structures is key for organizations to remain agile and competitive in the market. We advise organizations on their corporate (re-)structuring requirements in line with local jurisdictional and regulatory frameworks and best practice to suit optimally their particular business structures, growth ambitions and protect against organizational and external threats.
In drafting, reviewing or negotiating any type of commercial contract, we carefully identify the critical issues and key points that need to be addressed and can confidently advise and guide the client to achieving the best solution for them. Clients often engage us for ongoing legal advisory or virtual in-house legal services, during which this role is mirrored to provide continuous legal advice and support. With our ability to balance commercial risks with legal ones, TCS becomes a strong business partner as opposed to just another law firm.
Whether its a merger or acquisition, a strategic partnership, joint venture, franchising opportunity or any other type of transaction, TCS can assist a business from inception all the way to liquidation (and everything in between – which is hopefully a lot more of the positive and a lot less of the negative) but TCS can be there for it all.
Since TSC also works with a lot of high net worth individuals, TCS can assist with an entry or exit into a business, the legalities of various investments (whether investing or raising capital), setting up a structure for estate planning purposes and so much more.
Organizations need to be on top of regulatory transformations, quickly and proactively adopting relevant compliance frameworks to mitigate significant compliance risk.
Our team supports organizations to understand and define applicable regulatory and compliance risks and to design and integrate robust and comprehensive compliance frameworks to prevent and mitigate the impact of risk.
TCS can assist with setting up regulated entities, ensuring compliance with industry-specific regulations (and approvals of third party Regulatory bodies). With expertise in regulatory requirements, we streamline the incorporation process, providing efficient licensing procedures while minimizing complexities.
As a registered CSP with ADGM, our team provides a wide range of professional services to clients looking to set-up and have a their administrative, legal, regulatory and compliance requirements handled by a professional corporate service provider. We assist our clients in the process of setting up new companies, including handling all of the necessary legal and administrative procedures.
While not all companies require a registered CSP, for those that do (in ADGM), we are licensed to provide this service and where we provide CSP services to any client, we assist with ensuring compliance with corporate governance and regulatory requirements, maintaining statutory records, preparing annual filings requirements and generally ensuring that the company always remains compliant with the applicable rules and regulations to which it is subject.
