Creo Legal

Creo Legal is an Australian business law firm founded in 2017 by David Chung, a lawyer with 15 years of experience who also co-founded multiple technology and crypto ventures. Based in Brisbane and Melbourne, the firm services clients Australia-wide, offering fixed-fee legal services exclusively delivered by senior lawyers.

Core Products/Services

Creo Legal provides a broad range of commercial and corporate legal services, with recognised specialist expertise in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, health law, financial services, startups, intellectual property, business structuring and asset protection, business sales and purchases (including mergers and acquisitions), finance and securitisation, franchising, business succession, dispute resolution and litigation, consumer protection and competition law, corporate governance, and audit and compliance.

The firm's blockchain and cryptocurrency practice has been active since 2017, advising token issuers, digital currency exchanges, crypto asset service providers, and blockchain software developers. Key areas of crypto-specific advice include token sales and fundraising, DeFi and fintech, NFTs, gaming and GameFi, AML/CTF compliance (including AUSTRAC registration), data privacy, blockchain-as-a-service, private and permissioned blockchains, and supply chain and asset management.

Key Strengths

Creo Legal differentiates itself from conventional law firms through several distinctive characteristics. Its lawyers hold firsthand founder experience — David Chung co-founded a telehealth platform, Sandy Zhang founded a blockchain project accepted into a ConsenSys-backed accelerator, and Daegan Leachman has founded and sold multiple enterprises. This founder perspective enables the team to prioritise legal issues based on their real business impact, not theoretical risk.

The firm operates on a fixed-fee pricing model, providing cost certainty and eliminating the risk of escalating hourly billing. Clients deal exclusively with senior lawyers — no junior lawyers or paralegals. The team has deep niche expertise in blockchain, cryptocurrencies, AML/CTF compliance, and KYC for crypto exchanges and tokenisation of real-world assets.

Creo Legal has been featured in Cointelegraph and Coin Bureau, reflecting its profile within the crypto industry. The firm is a member of the Queensland Law Society and the Digital Law Association.

Notable Clients/Projects

The firm has served clients including Symbiosis Capital, LiveTrader, TokenSpin, Tokens For Humanity, and Vantari VR, among other businesses in the crypto, health, and technology sectors.
