Some technologies arrive before their rules do. This practice is kept deliberately open for them — the discipline of taking a defensible position in the absence of settled law.
Every frontier practice was once an emerging one. Digital assets were unregulated, then sandboxed, then licensed. Tokenised real-world assets are mid-transition now. AI governance is earlier still. The technologies change; the work of operating lawfully before the regime exists does not.
This practice is intentionally unbounded. Rather than name a fixed list of subjects, it holds a method: read where the regulation is heading, take a position that is defensible today and survivable tomorrow, and engage the rule-makers while the rule is still a draft. The same discipline applies whether the subject is a tokenised fund, an autonomous system, or something that does not have a name yet.
In practice the live frontiers today are tokenised real-world assets under permissioned standards, the regulatory perimeter around digital assets, and the governance of AI systems making consequential decisions. Tomorrow's will be different. The retainer is for the discipline, not the subject.
Permissioned ERC-3643 structures that keep eligibility and transfer control inside the instrument.
Where a novel instrument sits relative to the regulatory line — and how to move it deliberately.
Accountability and review structures for systems making consequential decisions.
Whether a regulatory sandbox is the right entry, and how to use it without being defined by it.
Defensible positions for instruments the existing framework did not anticipate.
Reading where regulation is heading, so the client is positioned before the rule arrives.
A technology is being built ahead of its regulation; a novel instrument needs a defensible position; or a client wants to be early to the rule-making rather than caught by it.
The firm takes on a small number of new retainers each year. First conversations carry no fee and no commitment. They begin with a written introduction.
