Ogier's Technology and Web3 team in Luxembourg provides comprehensive legal, regulatory and tax advice to help get your cryptocurrency or digital asset project off the ground.
Our advice is tailored to unfold your cryptocurrency and digital asset holding and distribution strategies within Luxembourg's regulatory framework, helping businesses navigate the complex digital landscape.
With a deep understanding of the applicable regulations and laws in Luxembourg around digital assets and technologies, and a focus on compliance, we empower organisations to fully unlock the potential of this emerging asset class and ensure appropriate access to the markets via blockchain technology and decentralised finance solutions.
The intersection of cryptocurrencies and tax law continues to evolve. Our legal and tax experts continually monitor the development of Luxembourg's tax treatment of crypto-asset related transactions. Our tax experts recommend fintech and regtech businesses and their founders seek professional advice to ensure robust and efficient tax planning.
We also help clients diversify their portfolios through the creation of crypto asset treasuries.
We advise on the establishment and structuring of funds investing in cryptocurrencies, tokenised assets, and blockchain technologies. This includes advice on various regulatory and corporate forms, such as RAIF (Reserved Alternative Investment Fund), and SIF (Specialised Investment Fund) structures, whether established as a SLP (Special Limited Partnership) or other corporate forms such as SCA (Partnership limited by shares), suited for tech and Web3 strategies. On the distribution side, we advise on the integration of DLT or other digital distribution solutions.
Our team can provide guidance on preparing for and implementing Marketing in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) requirements for token issuers, wallet providers, and other crypto-asset service providers. We also support clients with regulatory filings and licence applications, as well as specific advice on relevant national laws such as the Luxembourg Blockchain Laws.
Our experts can provide both legal and regulatory advice on the issuance and distribution of security tokens, stablecoins, and utility tokens from Luxembourg. We can assist in the structuring of tokenised share or fund interests under Luxembourg law.
We support applications for companies to become licensed payment institutions, e-money institutions or other regulated fintech players operating from Luxembourg.
We assist with setting up and advising on Luxembourg corporate vehicles for Web3 projects, Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) and other decentralised or distributed initiatives. We also advise boards on oversight of risk and compliance matters in the world of digital assets.
We provide guidance on compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Luxembourg-specific privacy rules for tech and blockchain businesses.
We advise on how to structure your tech businesses in Luxembourg as a gateway to the European market, including access to European passporting and compliance with EU directives.
Our tax experts provide comprehensive tax structuring and planning for companies, fintech, regtech businesses and to their founders as well as funds involved in crypto, blockchain, and digital assets under Luxembourg tax law. We provide tailor made, practical and business-oriented solutions, ensuring the commercial objectives of our clients are achieved in the most tax efficient manner.
We assist with the implementation and review of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) frameworks for crypto businesses, in accordance with Luxembourg rules.
We advise on the drafting and negotiation of technology-focused agreements, including software development, licensing and SaaS arrangements for Web3 platforms.
Ogier can provide representation and advice on disputes or regulatory investigations related to digital assets and technologies.
Ogier's commitment to supporting the fintech and digital assets ecosystem in Luxembourg and beyond is reflected in its partnership with the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT), a public-private initiative driving innovation and digital transformation in Luxembourg's financial services. As Luxembourg's central hub for fintech, it brings together local and global communities to tackle challenges and seize opportunities, fostering collaboration and experimentation to develop next-generation financial technology solutions for a prosperous future in Luxembourg and beyond.
