IT & Crypto
Law

Legal support for IT companies, crypto project structuring, and intellectual property protection in Moldova (MITP).

Focus

When our intervention is critical

The IT market lives by its own rules. A flaw in the code ownership structure or user agreement can cost a company millions during an investment round.

Launching an IT product or outsourcing firm

You are opening a company in Moldova to work globally. You need to obtain Moldova IT Park resident status to operate legally with a 7% tax rate, avoiding critical setup errors.

Raising investments or M&A exit

An investor conducts Due Diligence and requires proof that the company owns all code, not third-party freelancers. An urgent IP audit is required.

Releasing a product to the EU/US market

You need customized user documents (Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, EULA) that fully comply with GDPR and CCPA standards to avoid colossal fines.

Launching a crypto-project or exchange

You intend to launch a token (ICO/IDO), start an exchange, or integrate crypto payments. You need a legal framework in a crypto-friendly jurisdiction.

Our IT & Crypto Expertise

We speak the same language as founders. From initial company incorporation to protecting complex technological patents.

Moldova IT Park (MITP)

When the IT business needs a clean MITP launch without structural mistakes.

Consultancy, obtaining park resident status, successfully passing the annual Verification Report, and communicating with regulatory authorities.

Product Contracting (Contracts)

When the product, team, and clients already need a solid contract framework.

Drafting SaaS/PaaS agreements, Software Development Agreements, SLAs, NDAs, and NCAs for employees and contractors.

Intellectual Property (IP)

When rights to the code, brand, and product need to be consolidated inside the company.

Executing IP Assignments to transfer code rights from developers to the company. Registering trademarks in Moldova, the EU (EUIPO), and the US.

Crypto & VASP Compliance

When the crypto model needs to be checked before launch, listing, or banking review.

Legal Opinion on the crypto project's business model. Legal packaging of token sales, AML compliance, and obtaining VASP licenses (where applicable).

GDPR & Data Protection

When EU market entry is already constrained by privacy and compliance.

Conducting GDPR platform audits, drafting Privacy Policies, Cookie Policies, and appointing a DPO for European market operations.

Founder Tax Planning

When taxes, dividends, and ESOP need to be brought into one working system.

Optimizing dividend payouts and structuring Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP) to motivate and retain key personnel.

How we integrate with your team

Flexibility and speed are key in IT. We do not write multi-page memorandums when a clear 'action plan' is needed. Our approach is maximum business integration.

Business Model Analysis

Deep dive into your product. We must understand how money moves (fiat/crypto), who the user is (B2B/B2C), and where servers are located.

Jurisdiction Selection

If Moldova does not meet all criteria, we propose a combined international corporate structure involving companies in other countries.

Drafting Documentation

Creating the core document set: from NDAs for the in-house team to Terms of Service for users. Documents are crafted bilingually.

UI/UX Legal Integration

We show UX/UI designers exactly where to place consent checkboxes and pop-ups so that user agreements are legally binding (UI/UX Compliance).

IP Rights Registration

Securing brand and software rights. We cut off the risks of potential claims from former co-founders or disgruntled contractors (patent trolls).

Legal Outsourcing

We become your external legal department. Daily approval of vendor and client contracts, resolving operational administrative issues.

Examples from practice

Examples of successful solutions for tech companies and startups without disclosing trade secrets.

Defending against corporate IP loss

A client discovered that a former CTO had registered part of the source code and the company brand in his name, demanding a huge ransom.

Result:
Through the IP Agency (AGEPI), we proved the product was created under an employment contract. Rights were returned without payouts.
What we did

We rebuilt the chain of title to the code and brand, fixed the work-for-hire evidence, and brought the asset back into the company perimeter.

Legalizing Crypto-Acquiring

A startup planned to accept USDT payments for digital services to a Moldovan LLC, but local banks blocked the transactions.

Result:
Drafted a Legal Opinion proving the legality of the setup via a licensed EU crypto-processor. Accounts were unblocked, operations legalized.
What we did

We clarified the payment structure, prepared a legal opinion, and built a workable legal basis for the bank.

MITP Registration & Tax Refund

A foreign game-dev studio opened an office in Chisinau but mistakenly paid standard taxes instead of the flat 7% for half a year.

Result:
We fast-tracked MITP resident status, recalculated the tax base retroactively, and had the overpaid taxes returned to the company's accounts.
What we did

We accelerated MITP onboarding, recalculated the tax model, and carried the refund through to completion.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what is usually worth clarifying before the first consultation.

When can the legal packaging of an IT product no longer be postponed?

When the product goes to market, monetization starts, contractors or investors are involved, or user data is being processed. The later order is brought to IP, contracts, and privacy documents, the more expensive it becomes to fix the structure.

Can a crypto direction be launched legally without excessive risk?

Yes, but only if the project model, money flows, jurisdictions, AML risks, and the actual regulatory footprint are checked in advance. The legal map of the project should be assembled first, and only then should product and banking decisions be made.

What should be prepared for the first consultation on an IT or crypto project?

Usually a short description of the business model, the current company structure, a list of key contracts, and an understanding of the markets and user types involved are enough. If the documents are not yet assembled, work can still start from the product, the team, and where the main risk sits now.
