NeosLegal Wins “The Middle East Technology Legal Team of the Year” Award  for Excellence in UAE Crypto and Web3 Law

Since 2016, NeosLegal has focused exclusively on supporting crypto, digital assets and Web3 founders and projects. Receiving this distinction in technology law category (TMT – technology, media and telecoms) is a powerful affirmation of our work over the last 9 years.

Why This Award Matters

The Oath Middle East Awards evaluate firms on innovation, impact, technical capability and contribution to the region’s legal and economic development.

Winning The Middle East Technology Legal Team of the Year acknowledges NeosLegal’s role in shaping the foundations of the UAE’s digital economy across several critical dimensions:

• • • Regulatory innovation in crypto and virtual assets
    • Policy design for the next generation of digital governance
    • Advisory work at the intersection of law, technology and public institutions
    • Implementation of structures that move global crypto projects into compliance
    • Supporting governments and founders with new models for Web3 regulation

For our clients, this recognition reflects legal excellence, trust, continuity and our ability to navigate complex emerging-technology ecosystems with precision.

How NeosLegal Supports Crypto Founders and Web3 Projects

NeosLegal provides end-to-end legal guidance for crypto founders, Web3 entrepreneurs, and blockchain projects entering or expanding within the region. Our work covers the full spectrum of regulatory, corporate, and operational needs of crypto-native teams.

Through our specialised Web3 practice, we support founders in:

• • • VASP Licensing & Regulatory Structuring
      NeosLegal advises clients across VARA, ADGM, DIFC, and SCA on Virtual Asset Service Provider requirements, compliance frameworks, licensing applications, and supervisory obligations. This includes preparing regulatory documents, operating models, AML policies, and token handling procedures.
      

• • • RWA Tokenization and Tokenization Platforms
      Our team structures legally compliant frameworks for Real-World Asset tokenization, including tokenized equity, commodities, credit instruments and revenue-based assets. We also support the formation and licensing of tokenization platforms seeking to operate in the UAE’s regulated environment.
      

• • • Token Launches & Legal Opinions
      We provide legal opinions on token classification, utility, securities risk, and cross-border regulatory considerations. This ensures founders can confidently launch and distribute tokens in alignment with UAE and international requirements.
      

• • • Corporate Set-Up for Web3 & Blockchain Projects
      From incorporations and SPV structuring to shareholder agreements and governance frameworks, NeosLegal helps founders establish scalable, investor-ready legal foundations for global Web3 growth.
      
      
    • Venture Capital Fund Structures
      We support VC funds, accelerators, and investment DAOs with fund formation, GP/LP structuring, investor onboarding and regulatory compliance frameworks.
      

• • • UAE Market Entry & Expansion Advisory
      Founders entering the UAE receive full support on jurisdiction selection, licensing pathways, tax considerations, relocation options and long-term regulatory strategy.
      

• • • Tax Structuring & Optimization
      We advise on the tax implications of token issuance, token incentives, capital allocations, cross-border revenue flows, and structuring corporate entities in tax-efficient ways under UAE and international tax regimes.

A Note of Gratitude

This recognition is built on the trust of our clients, partners and regulators who chose to work with a crypto-native, tech-focused firm because we understand their entrepreneurial and technical needs.

Thank you for bringing us your hardest problems, your most ambitious projects, and your “impossible” structures. 

What Comes Next

In the coming period, NeosLegal will continue to:

• • • Work with regulators and policy makers on next-generation crypto and Web3 frameworks
      
    • Structure VASP, RWA and tokenization models that can withstand regulatory and market scrutiny
      
    • Support founders, family offices, funds and institutions entering or scaling in the UAE
      
    • Publish practical guidance for builders who want clear, founder-friendly answers – not 80-page memos
      

If you are building serious crypto, Web3 or digital-asset infrastructure into or from the Middle East, NeosLegal is here to design the legal rails with you.
