FIN LAW

FIN LAW is a German law practice that specialises in crypto-assets and financial regulation. It operates as FIN LAW Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH, entered in the commercial register of the Frankfurt am Main district court under HRB 143606.

Services

The firm names two services. The first is licensing before BaFin under MiCAR, the KWG (German Banking Act) and the WpIG (Investment Firm Act). The second is the legal assessment of crypto business models. The combination matters because the same activity, such as custody, exchange or token issuance, can fall under different German and EU regimes, and the choice of regime determines which licence is needed.

Market

Germany is the stated jurisdiction, with BaFin as the competent supervisor named in the offer.

Who it suits

Crypto startups and established financial firms planning to offer services in Germany can use the practice to test a model against the regulations before approaching the supervisor, and then to prepare the licence file. Fees, team size and examples of completed authorisations are not published. It is reasonable to ask whether the firm also supports the business after authorisation, for instance with ongoing reporting and changes to the model.
