Govern your DAO like a serious organisation.

Yes. We support token classification analysis, token warrants, vesting structures, disclosure packs, jurisdictional review and go-live readiness sign-off. We do not issue tokens, hold custody, or operate as an authorised investment firm.

Yes. We structure foundations and wrapper entities, draft constitutions, contributor agreements and treasury policies, and map governance processes into operating documentation that holds up under scrutiny.

Yes. We review websites, decks, emails, landing pages, campaign copy and social posts under the UK cryptoasset financial promotions regime and provide a structured sign-off record. Where an approver firm is required, we coordinate the referral.

Yes. We support SPV structuring, custody chain documentation, investor documentation and the regulatory analysis (MiFID II, AIFMD, MiCA, FSMA) needed to take an RWA structure beyond a marketing claim.

Yes. We draft the offchain legal agreements that sit alongside onchain code — escrow, treasury actions, vesting, contributor payments and dispute resolution — so the legal relationship is clear even when the contract executes autonomously.

No. The platform layer is a legal workflow and matter management system. It does not provide investment advice, custody, token issuance, regulated cryptoasset services, or autonomous smart-contract execution.

Our primary base is the UK (England & Wales). We routinely co-ordinate with counsel in other jurisdictions — including EU member states (MiCA), the Channel Islands, BVI, Cayman, Switzerland, UAE, Singapore and the United States — and structure the engagement so the foreign-law components are properly handled by appropriate local counsel rather than absorbed into a single opinion.

Most matters are scoped on a fixed-fee basis after a short scoping call. Where the work is genuinely open-ended (for example, ongoing general counsel coverage), we offer a monthly retainer with a defined scope, SLA and override mechanic. Hourly is reserved for unusual matters and is always agreed in writing before work begins.

A scoping call is usually within 3 to 5 working days. A focused workstream — such as a token warrant set, a DAO constitution, a promotions review, or an investor onboarding flow — typically completes in 2 to 6 weeks depending on jurisdictional spread, document inputs and stakeholder availability. Launch-readiness reviews are sequenced against your go-live target.

No. GAAS LAW is positioned as a legal services and legal-workflow provider. We do not operate as an authorised investment firm, do not hold client crypto, do not provide custody, do not issue tokens, and do not execute smart contracts on behalf of clients. Where regulated activities are required, we coordinate with appropriately authorised firms.
