ICO Legal Document Preparation Services

Even the most well-oiled machine will experience minor road bumps on a regular basis. When it comes to your ICO, even the most typical business occurrences can be far more complicated than they initially appear. Surprises such as rapid expansion into multiple jurisdictions, bringing in new employees, and business reorganizations can all slow you down and distract you from your ultimate goals. At IBC, we can help you by providing the precise legal documentation you need for any situation. In addition to industry-leading ICO legal advice, we handle the procedural work to protect you and your company when it comes to legal compliance issues in any jurisdiction worldwide.
Why You Need a Partner with Real-World ICO Experience
Preparing contracts and other documents are a significant need for all companies, regardless of their stage and level of growth. With an ICO, the typical boilerplate legal forms simply will not work. You need experts who understand the unique challenges and requirements for you and your company and will help you navigate the dangerous waters of an ICO together. You will almost certainly require employment contracts for your team, equity and token agreements for potential investors, non-disclosure agreements to protect your intellectual property, website and social media disclaimers, partnership agreements for any potential partnership with an outside entity, advertising and marketing agreements, token sale documents, office and equipment leases, and more. Our partner attorneys can prepare these documents, with each one tailored to your business‘ specific needs. With IBC, let our team of experts integrate all of your legal needs in a convenient and straightforward way.
