Corporate Structuring & Venture Capital

d&a partners' Corporate department provides comprehensive legal advisory for French and foreign companies implementing strategic projects in blockchain and Web3. The firm has developed leading expertise in structuring projects for tech companies operating in highly regulated environments.

Corporate Structuring & Entity Formation

The team specializes in structuring legal entities and corporate architectures optimized for Web3 projects operating in highly regulated environments. This includes jurisdiction selection, entity formation, and multi-entity structuring for token projects requiring separation between foundation, operating company, and development entities. The firm's deep understanding of both French corporate law and international Web3 regulatory frameworks enables effective structuring that balances regulatory compliance with operational efficiency.

Venture Capital & Fundraising

The firm regularly handles venture capital transactions across equity, token, or hybrid transactional contexts, often combining multiple instruments via SAFEs (BSA-AIR), Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs), or token warrants. Services include drafting and negotiating term sheets, investment protocols, shareholders' agreements, and issuance of complex securities including share warrants, SAFEs, BSA ratchet, and convertible bonds. This dual expertise in traditional venture capital and token-based fundraising makes d&a partners uniquely positioned to advise Web3 companies through all stages of growth.

Investment Vehicles & Management Structures

The firm specializes in structuring non-regulated investment vehicles such as "Other FIAs" (Autres FIAs), which intersects corporate and investment fund law. The Corporate department also structures management and employee profit-sharing schemes (AGA, BSPCE, BSA) and advises on token-based profit sharing schemes, reflecting deep understanding of both traditional and Web3 compensation mechanisms.
