Frequently Asked Questions

In which country is business best protected?

There is no clear-cut answer — the choice of jurisdiction depends on the type of activity, target markets, and regulatory requirements. Germany and the United Kingdom offer a high level of legal certainty, Estonia — a transparent digital environment, Czech Republic — a combination of favorable conditions and moderate costs. COREDO helps determine the optimal jurisdiction based on specific business parameters.

How much does legal protection cost?

The cost depends on the scope of work. A one-off consultation (Legal Opinion) — from EUR 500. Ongoing legal support in the form of outsourcing — from EUR 550/month (5 hours) to EUR 9,600/month (160 hours). For non-standard tasks (dispute resolution, court representation), the cost is calculated individually.

Is personal presence required to obtain legal protection?

In most cases, no. COREDO works remotely with clients worldwide. For some procedures (notarization, personal document filing in certain jurisdictions), presence or power of attorney may be required.

What regulatory changes are expected in the near future?

As of 2025, the DORA regulation (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) is in effect, expanding requirements for digital operational resilience of financial companies. In 2025, MiCA implementation is completed (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) — all crypto-asset operators must obtain a CASP license. From 2 August 2026, key provisions of the AI Act will begin to apply, and from 12 September 2026 — the Data Act. As of 10 July 2027, the AMLR regulation (Regulation (EU) 2024/1624) will come into force — a unified set of directly applicable AML rules. Companies operating in regulated sectors should plan adaptation now.

Does COREDO work with crypto companies?

Yes. COREDO provides legal support for companies working with crypto-assets, including in the context of MiCA licensing. Areas: legal audit, document preparation for regulators, ongoing compliance support.
