When does a Web3 project need a lawyer?
Token rules depend on where your team, company and buyers are. A lawyer who works with crypto projects can tell you whether a token or sale could be treated as a regulated product, which countries to restrict, and what your terms and disclosures must say. Do this before you announce a sale date, not after.
What to look for in a crypto law firm
- Crypto track record: ask which token launches, DAOs or protocols the firm has advised, and whether the same lawyers did the work.
- Your jurisdictions: rules differ for your team, your company and your buyers; check the firm covers each of them or works with local counsel.
- Clear scope and fees: agree what is included, whether the price is fixed or hourly, and what a revision costs.
- Verification status: providers marked "Verified" on Orivions have passed our checks, though you should always confirm credentials and references yourself.
Common work for onchain teams
- Token launch review: whether the token or sale could be a regulated product, and what disclosures and restrictions apply.
- Entity and treasury structure: where to incorporate, who holds the IP and how team and treasury tokens are held.
- Contracts with service providers: scope, milestone payments, ownership of code and keys, and what happens if the work stops.
- Terms and policies: terms of use, privacy and risk disclosures for your product.

Frequently asked questions
Does a Solana token need legal review?
Token rules depend on where your team, company and buyers are, so a token or sale may be treated as a regulated product in some places. A lawyer who works with crypto projects can say which countries to restrict and what your terms and disclosures must say. Do this before you announce a sale date.
When should I hire a crypto lawyer?
Before you announce a token sale, sign a large service contract or set up the company that will hold the code and treasury. Early advice on structure is usually cheaper than fixing it after launch.
