With LaaS, you have ongoing access to our Web3 and corporate team, led by Luiza Castro Rey, ensuring your project remains compliant, investor-ready and legally safeguarded. From corporate structuring to token launches, regulatory registration and day-to-day contracting, LaaS provides the continuity and flexibility you need to focus on building while we handle the legal work.
