Legal Advisory · Crypto & Finance
Obsidian Law protects your interests in a complex financial landscape. Asset recovery, exchange litigation, regulatory compliance and expat advisory — across Europe.
Expertise
Our teams combine classical legal expertise with a deep mastery of blockchain protocols to defend you with surgical precision.
Hacks, scams, exit fraud or phishing — we trace funds on the blockchain, coordinate with competent authorities and initiate all legal proceedings to recover your assets.
Abusive account suspension, unjustified liquidation, market manipulation — we bring proceedings against exchanges and DeFi platforms before the competent European courts.
We assert your rights before regulators (FINMA, AMF, BaFin), support your Web3 projects in their legal structuring and ensure your MiCA compliance across Europe.
Cross-border crypto taxation, international asset structuring, mandatory filings in Switzerland, France and Germany — we guide expatriates through full fiscal compliance.
Legal analysis of smart contracts, NFT-related disputes, intellectual property rights over digital assets and liability regimes of decentralised protocols.
On-chain forensic auditing, identification of anonymous entities, building court-admissible evidence and coordination with Europol and national judicial authorities.
Track Record
A selection of representative mandates illustrating the breadth of our practice across European jurisdictions.
Successfully challenged criminal confiscation proceedings initiated after the exploitation of a DeFi protocol vulnerability. Multi-jurisdictional coordination with judicial authorities to establish client standing and secure asset release.
Commercial litigation between institutional digital asset market participants, resulting in the civil seizure and judicial escrow of contested tokens pending arbitral resolution.
Representation before examining magistrates in AML criminal proceedings against a crypto investor. Procedural strategy secured a no-bill ruling at the pre-trial stage, with full discharge of suspicion.
Defence in enforcement proceedings initiated by a national financial authority. Negotiated outcome preserved the client's operating licence and regulatory standing, avoiding formal sanctions.
Recovery mandate spanning three jurisdictions: on-chain forensic tracing, emergency asset-freezing orders, and international judicial cooperation to recover embezzled digital assets in full.
End-to-end regulatory structuring for a fintech platform seeking simultaneous CASP authorisation under MiCA and FINMA registration, including policy framework drafting and direct regulator liaison.
Coverage
Three strategic jurisdictions, a multilingual team, and seamless cross-border coordination.
Obsidian is one of the sharpest materials nature has ever created. We apply that same precision to every matter we defend.
