Annerton

Annerton is an independent law firm founded in 2020 that advises financial and technology companies. Its digital assets practice covers product design, alignment with the regulator and obtaining permits for payment, e-money and crypto models.

Licensing and regulation

The firm lists four services: licensing of payment and e-money institutions, MiCAR/CASP licences, crypto custody and the electronic register for crypto securities, and general regulatory advice. This combination lets one adviser handle both a classic payment licence and a crypto-asset service provider authorisation under the EU framework, which is useful for companies that run both lines.

Entity and markets

The legal entity is Annerton Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, with an office at Köthener Straße 2–3, 10963 Berlin. Jurisdictions named are Germany, Luxembourg and the European Union as a whole.

Who it suits

Annerton fits fintechs, payment providers and crypto start-ups planning to enter the German or Luxembourg market, or to passport services across the EU. Fee models, team size and the list of past matters are not stated and should be requested from the firm.
