Services & Products
Blockchain and Crypto Workshop
Our corporate, regulatory and tax experts prepare, hold and debrief your key stakeholders in a focused 2h Workshop. The goal is for you to walk out of that workshop with a go/no-go decision and a clear legal action plan.
Asset Tokenization and Stable coins
LEXR is cutting-edge when it comes to the tokenisation of assets in Switzerland. We have successfully tokenised a range of different assets – from a Rolex to a Picasso to shares and other financial instruments – and we keep innovating.
Crypto exchanges, brokers and other service providers
We work with any type of intermediary, from virtual asset service providers (VASPs/CASPs) to exchange data aggregators.
Token Assessment / Legal Opinion
Payment, utility, asset or security token? The token qualification is crucial to understand regulatory requirements – both for token issuers and for crypto exchanges and brokers. We are well-experienced in assessing tokens under Swiss law and FINMA Guidelines.
DAO and DeFi Setup
Switzerland is home to many crypto and web3 companies. From L1 projects like Ethereum, Cardano or Tezos to DeFi protocols like Aave and various other DAO setups. We help you decide whether to follow their example and accompany you every step of the way.
Private Token Sales (SAFT)
Get expert advice combined with our time-tested SAFT / SAFE (simple agreement for future token/equity) agreements to fund the development of your project.
Public Token Sales (TGE/ICO/STO/IDO)
Switzerland provides a favourable regulatory framework for issuing all types of tokens, including payment, utility, asset, and security tokens, as well as NFTs. We show possibilities and limitations and help you structure and execute your public sale, including KYC and AML procedures.
Gaming and Metaverse
New lands, immersive experiences, and gaming economies. While DLT technology can set new standards, you can easily get lost in the regulatory jungle. We help you make your vision of the new world come to life.
