My story with crypto began in 2017, at a time when only a few centralized exchanges existed. It took me nearly two weeks just to wire funds and buy my first digital asset, an experience that was slow and uncertain, but also exciting. Since then, I’ve witnessed the industry transform: countless bull and bear cycles, new exchanges and decentralized platforms, NFTs reshaping digital ownership, and millions of people stepping into Web3. What was once a niche experiment has grown into a global movement.

Before launching 0x Legal, I trained and practiced as a Magic Circle corporate lawyer, advising on complex cross-border transactions and high-value regulatory matters. That background gave me a deep understanding of how legal frameworks shape businesses and, why clarity and compliance are essential for sustainable growth. When I combined that expertise with my passion for crypto, 0x Legal was born.

Today, 0x Legal focuses on helping Web3 projects, fintech companies, and innovators navigate licensing, regulatory frameworks, and compliance strategies. We believe that while rules are necessary to protect users and developers from malicious activity, regulation should never come at the expense of innovation. Our ethos is grounded in the same values that built this space: transparency, openness, and respect for decentralisation.

And as a fellow Web3 enthusiast, a proud NFT holder and someone who shares the same concerns and hopes for the future of this industry, I am here not just as a lawyer, but as a partner who understands both the legal and the community side of this journey.
