Web3 & Crypto Lawyer · Founder, Web3Legals · Double Gold Medallist, LLM — National Law University
I'm Rahul Pareek — a Web3 and crypto lawyer based in Jodhpur, India, working with founders and startups globally. I founded Web3Legals to be the legal partner that Web3 builders actually need: one who understands the technology, not just the paperwork around it.
I hold a double gold medal in LLM from the National Law University, with specializations in International Law and Business Law. But more importantly, I've spent years studying blockchain technology, DeFi protocols, token economics, and the rapidly evolving regulatory frameworks surrounding them.
My clients range from solo founders pre-token launch to DAOs managing multi-million dollar treasuries — all united by the same need: legal clarity in an unclear world.
Deep expertise in how token classification interacts with SEC, MiCA, and SEBI frameworks. I've reviewed dozens of whitepapers and token structures for legal compliance.
From the Ooki DAO precedent to Wyoming DAO LLCs — I understand the evolving legal landscape for decentralized organizations and how to protect their contributors.
Navigating the patchwork of global crypto regulations — from India's PMLA and SEBI frameworks to MiCA, FATF Travel Rule, and US securities law.
LLM specialization in International Law gives me the foundation to handle cross-border transactions, multi-jurisdictional entity structures, and global fundraising rounds.
From co-founder agreements to VC due diligence packages — I help Web3 startups build the legal foundation that institutional investors expect to see.
AML/CFT policy design, VASP compliance frameworks, OFAC sanctions screening, and KYC implementation for crypto platforms and exchanges.
Graduated with double gold medals in International Law & Business Law. First in batch.
Began studying DeFi, token economics, DAO governance, and the emerging global regulatory landscape for crypto assets.
Started advising early-stage blockchain projects on token structuring, whitepaper review, and entity formation. The demand was immediate.
Formalized the practice as Web3Legals — India's dedicated Web3 legal advisory firm. Began working with DAOs, DeFi protocols, and NFT platforms globally.
Expanded to serve clients across India, UAE, Singapore, UK, and the US. Added MiCA compliance and FATF Travel Rule advisory as core services.
50+ clients advised. Regular contributor on Web3 legal topics. Committed to making institutional-grade legal protection accessible to all Web3 builders.
I watched too many brilliant founders build incredible technology — only to have it shut down, frozen, or destroyed by legal problems that were entirely preventable.
The Web3 space has unique legal needs that generic corporate lawyers don't understand. When a lawyer doesn't know what a DAO is, they can't protect the people running one.
Web3Legals exists to close that gap — to be the legal partner that actually understands the decentralized world and can protect the people building it.
Clear advice in plain language. No unnecessary legal jargon. No billing for every five-minute call. A genuine partner in your project's success — not just a vendor who files documents.
