We are the blockchain experts since day one.
Legal expertise
We have worked with our customers for years in the setup of decentralized protocols, blockchain infrastructure and VASPs. Where needed, we help building the bridge to the traditional financial world.

Our FinTech and Regulatory Products and Services at a glance
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 in hand.
Asset Tokenization and Stable coins
LEXR is cutting edge when it comes to the tokenization of assets in Switzerland. We have successfully tokenized a range of different assets – from a Rolex over 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 understand if you should follow their example and accompany you every step of the way.

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 favorable regulatory framework to issue 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.
