The CryptoVault International Breach

Cross-Border DeFi Platform Acquisition

Facilitated a $280M acquisition where a Canadian fintech bought a decentralized finance platform registered in Malta but operating globally. The regulatory maze was insane - we're talking securities law in three continents, token classifications, and smart contract audits.

"They understood both the tech and the legal angles. Most lawyers get one or the other - these folks got both and saved us from killing the deal three times over."

Healthcare SaaS Privacy Overhaul

A health tech startup was storing patient data like it was 2010. They got hit with a PIPEDA audit and basically panicked. We rebuilt their entire compliance framework from scratch while they kept operations running - no small feat.

"We thought we were done for. They came in, assessed everything without judgment, and fixed what needed fixing. Now we're actually using our compliance as a sales advantage."

AI Algorithm Patent Infringement Defense

Major US tech giant accused our client of ripping off their machine learning algorithms. Thing is, our client's tech was completely different - just solved a similar problem. We proved it with expert testimony and code analysis that made the judge's eyes glaze over, but we won.

"They didn't just defend us - they understood our technology better than we explained it. The technical expertise combined with courtroom strategy was unmatched."

Remote Workforce Misclassification Audit

Gaming company had 200+ contractors spread across North America. Problem? About half should've been employees based on how they were managed. We restructured everything before regulators caught wind, saving them from a class action nightmare.

"We didn't even know we had a problem until they pointed it out during a routine consult. Fixed it proactively instead of reactively - probably saved the company."

NFT Marketplace Regulatory Framework

Helped an NFT platform navigate the absolute mess of figuring out whether their tokens were securities, commodities, or something else entirely. Spoiler: it depended on the NFT. We created a classification system that worked with regulators in multiple provinces.

"Other firms said 'wait and see' on NFT regulation. These guys said 'let's build something that works now and adapts later.' That's why we launched on time."

Cloud Provider Data Residency Crisis

Client got a big government contract, but the data residency requirements conflicted with their multi-cloud architecture. We restructured their entire data topology and negotiated carve-outs that satisfied both parties without killing their margins.

"We were gonna walk away from the deal. They found a way to make it work that our engineers said was impossible. Technical + legal expertise in one package."

Open Source Licensing Cleanup for Exit

Startup getting acquired had a codebase that was basically a legal minefield - GPL, MIT, Apache licenses all mixed together with unclear attribution. Buyers were freaking out. We audited 2.3 million lines of code, cleared the issues, and got the deal back on track.

"The acquirer was ready to walk. These folks dove into our codebase like they were engineers themselves and fixed everything in three weeks. Saved our exit."

DeFi Protocol Compliance Strategy

Decentralized lending protocol needed to figure out how to comply with KYC/AML without destroying the whole "decentralized" part that made them useful. We designed a hybrid approach that satisfied regulators while keeping the protocol functional.
