General Counsel / Legal Lead · Space and Time Labs

Structured token sale legal terms and led regulatory engagement affecting listing compliance

Drafted and negotiated the legal documentation underpinning private and public token distributions, including investor purchase agreements, offering memoranda and on‑chain vesting contracts. Those documents set the contractual rights and restrictions that governed secondary transfers, lockups and clawback provisions. By choosing specific legal structures and disclosures, the counsel influenced which jurisdictions could participate and how exchanges and custodians evaluated compliance risk. Led regulatory engagement and compliance programs, implementing AML/KYC procedures and advising on securities law exposure. The legal lead's determinations on whether token features constituted a security under various regimes materially affected listing strategies and which markets could offer the token to local clients. Advice given to the executive team resulted in modifications to token utility language and vesting mechanics to reduce regulatory friction. Managed responses to regulator inquiries and coordinated with outside counsel for discrete enforcement or filing matters. The legal lead also approved contractual terms in exchange listing agreements and institutional onboarding packages, which shaped the conditions under which liquidity providers and exchanges would host trading. These concrete legal actions affected the token's accessibility and the risk assessments used by market participants.
