How does the Crypto Law Index shortlist work?

You describe your crypto business — customer market, model, target jurisdiction, and stage. We match it against the CLPAI firm ranking and the Crypto Jurisdiction Index, then send you a shortlist of firms suited to that profile. It is an editorial introduction, not legal advice.

Is the shortlist service free, and is it pay-to-rank?

Requesting a shortlist is free. The firm ranking it draws on is editorial and is not influenced by sponsorship — see the disclosure page. The shortlist reflects fit to your profile, not who paid.

What happens to my submission?

It is emailed to the Crypto Law Index editorial inbox. We use it only to prepare and send your shortlist. We do not sell contact details.

What you get, and what this is not

An editorial shortlist. Firms matched to your profile from the CLPAI ranking — not a sales list.
No pay-to-rank. Sponsorship does not move firm scores. See the disclosure.
Not legal advice. The shortlist is a starting point; the engagement decision and the legal work are between you and the firm.
