About
Provided by Lexters
The Tech & DeepTech Department at Lexters is a trusted partner for fast-growing technology and fintech businesses in Romania and across CEE. We combine deep venture capital experience with specialist knowledge of blockchain, cryptoassets and digital finance regulation.
We advise VC funds and founders on equity rounds, SAFEs, convertibles and token-based structures, helping startups scale into EU and US markets. Our team supports payment institutions, e-money issuers, crowdfunding platforms and neobanks throughout the full regulatory and licensing lifecycle, from structuring and product design to day-to-day dealings with supervisory authorities.
A core focus of our work is assisting clients with token offerings and admissions to trading under MiCAR, as well as the ongoing regulatory, commercial and compliance needs of centralised exchanges and other trading platforms. We are equally active on software, AI, AML and IP mandates, including mission-critical IT contracts and complex, high-value technology disputes.
What differentiates Lexters is the combination of international perspective, responsiveness and practical mindset of our lawyers. We provide clear, business-oriented advice, grounded in strong cross-border experience and an active role in the European tech and web3 ecosystem, enabling clients to navigate complex regulation while pursuing ambitious growth strategies.
