Counsel · Crypto · Germany

The statute comes first. The token comes second.

Hainlex is a digital-asset counsel desk in Grünwald, south of Munich. We read MiCA, KWG notices and token papers the way a notary reads a deed — slowly, in German law, in English for the client.

Munich Palace of Justice on Karlsplatz, neo-baroque stone façade — Munich Palace of Justice — the court language this desk still writes in.

Art. 01

Market rules under MiCA

CASP perimeter, white-paper duties, custody wording. We map what the Regulation actually asks before a product story is printed.

Practice Art. 02

Token classification

Utility, e-money, financial instrument, or none of those. The label is a legal fact, not a slide.

Practice Art. 03

Tax and reporting in Germany

Private sales, staking, employee tokens, books that a Finanzamt can follow. No yield pitch. Paper that survives a letter.

Practice Art. 04

Supervisor letters and disputes

BaFin correspondence, wallet freezes, contract fights. We draft for the file, not for the feed.

Practice

Maximilianeum in Munich, seat of the Bavarian parliament

The desk

Bavarian house. Federal statutes. English for the mandate.

Clients are founders, family offices and operators who need German crypto law in a language they can instruct. Hearings stay in German when the authority requires it. The brief you keep is in English.

Hainlex is the public name of this counsel practice. The legal entity, register data and company documents sit on the Impressum and in Terms & documents.

First reading

Send a note. Not a mandate.

Ninety minutes, a two-page file, a list of missing papers. This box does not transmit — it is a demo on a static site.
