More About Filipp

My legal journey started in Belarus and led me to New York, where I am admitted to practice law.

The path of the legal profession can be unclear, yet I found my passion in helping entrepreneurs and visionaries comply with the law while they change this world. That is why I am focused on web3, fintech, and corporate law.

Outside of work, I photograph moments and enjoy challenging myself with different sports. Also, I like to get out of town for a hike or to visit historical places.

  • Support with crypto scams, tracing perpetuators, freezing stolen assets, communicating with exchanges
  • Legal advice on fundraising via SAFEs, SAFTs, Token Warrant Agreements, FASTs, and other instruments
  • Support to venture funds on securities regulations
  • Assist with the establishment and structuring of U.S.-based venture and hedge funds
  • Draft legal opinions on E.U. and U.S. sanctions compliance and OFAC licenses
