Cryptoassets
With our experience and expertise in cryptoassets in the UK, we can help you get ahead and stay compliant.
We know there’s no single solution when it comes to cryptoassets, so tell us about your situation and we’ll help you to navigate the emerging UK legal and regulatory landscape. UK regulatory treatment of cryptoassets is changing and effects overseas firms promoting to UK customers as well as UK based businesses. We keep up to date with the latest developments and so that you continue to comply as your UK business grows, the technology changes and regulation develops.
We can give advice on whether your activities are regulated, help you to register or apply for authorisation with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), help with setting up a UK company, give corporate and regulatory governance advice, as well as on financial promotions, employing staff and immigration, and commercial terms with partners.
