Crypto and Web3

This is one of the most common questions among startups planning to work with clients outside Serbia. Even if your platform targets a foreign market, if you are headquartered in Serbia, you fall under the provisions of the Law on Digital Assets. Our team can analyze your business model and tell you precisely whether you need to undergo the licensing process with the National Bank of Serbia or the Securities Commission. In practice, even “borderline” models often have regulatory obligations, so it is crucial to identify them early to avoid penalties and business bans.

NFT projects and Web3 solutions often involve copyright, trademark, or patent issues. If you are developing an NFT collection based on works of art, it is crucial to clearly define whether the buyer of the NFT token acquires only proof of ownership or also copyright. Our team provides support in trademark registration and IP protection, as well as in contractually regulating relationships between authors, platforms, and users. We also advise on preventing plagiarism and how to respond in case of rights infringements in Serbia or abroad.

If you want to introduce cryptocurrency payments within your e-commerce business, you must have a clear legal basis and regulate rights and obligations towards customers. Our team assists with contracts with payment providers, tax obligation assessments, and compliance with fiscalization and consumer protection rules.

Investors, especially institutional ones, expect a high level of legal and regulatory certainty before investing capital in a crypto project. In practice, this means conducting detailed regulatory due diligence, covering license status, data protection, AML/KYC compliance, and token status. Our investment team provides comprehensive support to both startups and investors, preparing the necessary contracts and documentation to enable safe and transparent entry into investment.

Crypto platforms and Web3 applications often process user data, including sensitive information, and must comply with GDPR rules and local data protection laws.

A particular challenge arises when data is transferred outside Serbia or the EU, as this requires additional legal mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses.

Our team assists in drafting Privacy Policies and Cookie Policies, as well as establishing internal procedures for data processing and storage – all of which are crucial for building user trust and avoiding heavy fines.

The first step in such a situation is to have ready and compliant documentation – licenses, internal policies, AML procedures, and partner contracts.

If an inspection does occur, our team represents you before the authorities and handles communication on your behalf, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or unnecessary consequences.

In addition, we prepare a defense plan and strategy, including the possibility of amicable dispute resolution, but also representation before courts when necessary.

This way, you reduce legal and reputational risks and ensure business continuity even in crisis situations.
