Whitepeak Law advises founders, investors and operators working where technology meets regulation: crypto-assets, artificial intelligence and emerging regulated sectors, in France and across Europe.
Innovation markets share a common dynamic: a legal framework being built as the technology deploys. Our practice covers the three areas that concentrate the most demanding matters today.
CASP authorisation under MiCA, service qualification, entity structuring, dialogue with the AMF, post-licensing compliance and European passport. Support for French and international providers.
AI Act readiness, AI systems governance, vendor contracts, procurement, intellectual property of generated outputs, coordination with sectoral obligations.
Fintechs, innovative financial services, asset tokenisation, new European frameworks and hybrid models. Support on activities whose legal framework is stabilising in real time.
Teams structuring their first authorisation, choosing their target regime, sizing their organisation for European deployment.
Providers from the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong and Switzerland seeking French authorisation and European expansion.
Financial institutions, asset managers, neobanks and groups adding crypto-asset services or AI systems to their existing offering.
Funds conducting due diligence on crypto or AI targets, mapping legal, contractual and regulatory risks before investment.
Every file is handled by the founding attorney. First point of contact, last reviewer. No delegation of judgment on matters where the framework is still being built.
