Token & NFT Legal Framework
$349 Flat Fee - 3 to 5 Business Days
Pre-launch legal framework for token projects and NFT collections. Howey/Reves analysis, SAFTs, NFT licensing, and a clear compliance roadmap.
Get StartedWhat You Get
Launching a token or NFT collection without a legal framework is one of the fastest ways to attract SEC attention, lose marketplace listings, and create personal liability for founders. Most enforcement actions in this space turn on facts that should have been documented and structured before launch.
Our flat-fee Token & NFT Legal Framework gives you a written analysis of your specific token mechanics under U.S. securities law (Howey for investment-style tokens, Reves for note-style tokens, recent SEC guidance), the agreements required for your fundraise, the IP and licensing terms appropriate for your collection, and a jurisdictional flag list for non-U.S. markets.
- Howey and Reves analysis applied to your specific token mechanics
- SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) drafting for pre-network sales
- Token Sale Agreement / Token Purchase Agreement drafting
- NFT IP and licensing terms for generative collections
- Royalty enforcement provisions and secondary-market language
- MiCA awareness and EU jurisdiction flagging where applicable

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a registration opinion or a no-action letter?
No. This is a legal framework memorandum: a written analysis of how your token or NFT collection is likely to be classified under U.S. securities law (Howey, Reves, and applicable SEC guidance) and the implications for distribution, marketing, and secondary trading. It is not an SEC filing, a no-action letter application, or a Reg D / Reg A / Reg CF offering. If your project requires registration or a private-placement structure, we will scope a separate engagement.
What's a SAFT and when do I need one?
A Simple Agreement for Future Tokens is the dominant pre-network instrument used to raise capital from accredited investors before a functional token exists. It treats the pre-launch sale as a security under Reg D 506(c) and contemplates token delivery once the network goes live. You need one if you are taking capital before your token is live and tradable. We draft SAFTs as part of this engagement; the related Reg D Form D filing is not included but we will guide you to file it on EDGAR.
What about NFTs?
For NFTs we cover the IP license between the issuer and the token holder (the NFT does not automatically transfer copyright in the underlying art), the smart contract royalty mechanics and their off-chain enforceability, MetaIP / CreativeCommons-on-chain options, and disclosures required by the dominant marketplaces. Generative collections receive specific copyright and derivative-work analysis.
Do you handle non-U.S. compliance?
We flag MiCA (EU), MAS (Singapore), VARA (UAE), and FCA (UK) implications based on your declared target markets. We are licensed in Florida and Illinois only. Where local counsel is needed, we coordinate through our referral network at no referral cost to you. The framework memo identifies which jurisdictions require local counsel before you launch.
Will this protect us from SEC enforcement?
No legal opinion fully insulates a project from enforcement risk. A documented good-faith analysis with attorney-drafted compliance steps materially reduces risk and is a foundation for a 'reasonable reliance on counsel' defense. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Anyone promising you SEC-proof status is selling something we won't.
How does this differ from Smart Contract Review?
Token & NFT Legal Framework analyzes your token's legal classification and economic structure across the project. Smart Contract Review analyzes a specific deployed or pre-deployment contract for legal risk in its terms and behavior. Most full token launches need both. We discount the second engagement when bundled.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. This page is informational and is not legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed until a signed engagement letter is in place. We do not guarantee any specific regulatory outcome.
