Iconiq Lab, a global initial coin offer (ICO) and token-sale accelerator program, today announces its partnership with Liquet Associates, a law firm with a competence spectrum covering financial market regulation, corporate law, private equity, venture capital and start-up consulting.
With the frenzy around crypto opportunities and startups skyrocketing, legal structuring becomes one of the most sought-after subjects. Having a coherent legal structure is invaluable from an investor perspective as well. Through this alliance, we seek to create legal guidance for startups in this steadily changing, very challenging legal environment and help them establish the best possible entity and structure to become successful in the blockchain world.
Iconiq Lab’s mission is to allow for the flow of entrepreneurial creativity through using tokens as financing instruments for the worthiest startups. This partnership with Liquet Associates will provide crypto startups with trustable resources to create the best suited legal structures for an ICO.
“As a strategic partner of Iconiq Lab we accompany this cross-border and first-of-its-kind venture with pleasure. These are exciting times for the ICO universe and especially for blockchain-related startups”, said Thomas J. Kowohl, Managing Partner of Liquet Associates. “Our uniquely positioned cross-practice team supports Iconiq Lab to find the legal solutions to execute ICOs successfully”, added Dr. Jochen Kasper, Managing Partner of Liquet Associates.
“It’s incredibly valuable to have an independent law firm like Liquet as a strategic partner. One of the biggest value-adds for the startups we are working with is our objectivity towards jurisdictions. Liquet Associates is challenging every legal advice we are receiving from our respective partners in different countries”, said Maximilian Lautenschläger, co-founder and Sourcing Director of Iconiq Lab.
“We are excited to announce our strategic partnership with Liquet Associates and add them as an advisor to Iconiq Lab,” added Patrick Lowry, CEO and co-founder of Iconiq Lab. “Liquet Associates has proven themselves as an accomplished contributor, and we value their input when it comes to sourcing opportunities regarding ICO offerings in various jurisdictions to construct tokens as investment opportunity.”
