Licensing and Ongoing Compliance Services
Whether you’re a cryptocurrency startup navigating regulatory hurdles, a gaming company striving for high compliance standards, a forex trading platform planning an international expansion, or a financial institution seeking a favorable jurisdiction for your operations, we’re here for you. Our team of ambitious and determined lawyers can help you navigate any regulatory framework with ease and confidence by providing a range of legal services needed to enter selected markets and remain compliant.
Fundamentally, we’re well-prepared to help you obtain a crypto license, gambling license, forex license, or PSP/EMI license in the most favorable jurisdictions in Europe and beyond. If you choose to obtain a white-label platform from an already licensed platform provider, we’ll make sure you’re granted a sub-license in the shortest possible time. Our licensing and sub-licensing services include selecting a jurisdiction for your specific business model, preparing all the required documents, completing formal license application forms, and dealing with the regulator to ensure the uncompromised quality of the submitted application.
Applying for a license or a sub-license for a white-label platform usually requires company incorporation in the chosen jurisdiction. Our lawyers can guide you through the process of registering a company, including developing a corporate structure, drafting corporate and supporting documents, designing such foundational internal processes as AML/CFT procedures, and filing an application for incorporation.
If you prefer acquiring a ready-made company with a relevant license, we’re also here for you. Our team facilitates acquisitions by conducting due diligence, negotiating favorable terms, ensuring legal compliance, ensuring smooth transitions, and offering post-acquisition support. While we handle the complex details to ensure that the transition is as seamless and risk-free as possible, you can focus on the strategic advantages and opportunities that come with it.
Depending on the industry, your business may also require the development of various other internal processes and legal manuals that are vital in mitigating associated risks and remaining in compliance with applicable regulations. You can expect our assistance with the development of personal data protection, responsible gaming, continuous reporting, risk management, dispute resolution, and many more processes that should be the backbone of your business.
To start operating legitimately and securely, your crypto, gambling, forex, or other financial business will most likely need the development of such key documents as contracts with clients and business partners. Our lawyers have a deep understanding of contract law and can ensure that the contracts you create are legally enforceable. They can tailor contracts to your specific goals and help you avoid common pitfalls and errors that could lead to disputes or legal issues in the future.
Whether it’s cutting-edge innovations, unique product designs, or a distinctive brand identity, your intellectual property (IP) is one of your most valuable assets. Here at RUE (Regulated United Europe), we offer robust IP protection services to ensure that your creative activities and brand assets remain secure. We work closely with our clients to develop and enforce a comprehensive IP strategy that aligns with their business goals, and you too can expect such a level of protection.
To stay and thrive within a regulated industry, it’s critical to remain compliant with the industry’s rules. Failure to comply with regulations can lead to legal issues, and penalties, and may hinder your business’s ability to achieve its goals. As our valued client, you can expect a dedicated commitment from our team to guide you within the applicable regulatory framework and ensure your business maintains industry standards at all times. We keep an eye on regulatory changes and updates, ensuring that the businesses of our clients are always aligned with the latest legal requirements.
Here at RUE (Regulated United Europe), we believe that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to legal services.
