Welcome to DONE
What this practice is, who it's for, and what you can expect to read here.
DONE is a small consultancy at the intersection of legal practice and the on-chain economy. It exists to serve two groups that have, until now, been talking past each other.
The two clients we built this for
The first is the crypto user. They’ve been in the space for years. They understand wallets, custody, swaps, staking. They are — quite reasonably — tired of explaining all of that to a lawyer who bills them to learn it.
The second is the founder. Building a token, a protocol, an exchange, a DAO — and discovering that the legal and tax stack has not caught up with what they’re shipping. MiCA changed a lot. The next AML package will change more.
What we publish here
This Insights section will be a working notebook. Short pieces on:
- How Latvian and EU rules apply to common crypto situations
- Tax positions worth reviewing before year-end
- MiCA, VASP, and CASP authorisation milestones
- Structuring patterns that have worked — and ones that haven’t
- Things we wish more clients knew before they signed something
Nothing on this site is legal or tax advice. It’s the public-facing version of conversations we have every week, sanitised and shared.
If a topic in your situation is missing here, send a note. The questions our clients ask shape what gets written.
