Having worked for over 8 years in legal consulting and Fintech I obtained great knowledge in the fields of IT Service Providing, Entertainment, Blockchain&Tokenization, Security Token Offerings (STO), Compliance Regulation, IP protection.

Simply put, I can propose clear and easy solution to product companies and clients when it comes to such matters as:
