Payment provider, authorised and retained
The group had a working product and a European licence, and no route into Georgia. Four advisers had quoted separately for the company, the licence, the accounting and the platform contracts. They wanted one engagement letter and one team that would still be there after the licence landed.

The portfolio is deliberately uneven. We publish what a prospective client can learn something from, not one matter per practice area.
Work under an active engagement, or where anonymisation would not be enough, is not published at all. If a matter close to yours is missing, ask — we can usually describe it in a call.
