One Advisory Layer for Legal, Regulatory and Operational Risk

Digital businesses often face overlapping obligations. A single business model may involve crypto-asset regulation, payment services rules, AML/CFT duties, data protection requirements, outsourcing controls, consumer protection and internal governance obligations.

Artlex Consult helps clients identify these overlaps before they become regulatory, banking or operational problems.

Our work combines legal analysis, regulatory compliance and operational understanding — because in regulated digital business, contracts, licensing, AML/CFT, payments, data protection and governance cannot be treated separately.

We assess your exposure across
  • Business model and service structure
  • Crypto-asset and digital asset activity
  • Payment flows and PSD2 exposure
  • Custody and control over client assets
  • AML/CFT obligations
  • Sanctions and high-risk jurisdiction exposure
  • Contractual and outsourcing risks
  • Governance and internal control requirements
  • Data protection and AI-related compliance risks

Legal and Regulatory Issues Rarely Exist in Isolation

For regulated digital businesses, legal and regulatory issues are rarely isolated. The decisions made in one area directly affect obligations in another — and the consequences appear at the worst possible moment: during banking onboarding, licensing review, investor due diligence or regulatory inspection.

That is why Artlex Consult focuses on the full operational picture, not only isolated documents.

Contract → AML responsibilityA commercial contract can determine who bears AML/CFT obligations — and whether controls are legally assigned.
Payment flow → PSD2 exposureA payment or fiat flow in a crypto business model can trigger payment institution licensing requirements.
Wallet structure → Custody analysisHow assets are held and controlled determines whether custody licensing obligations apply under MiCA.
Token model → MiCA / securities riskThe design of a token or digital asset can create MiCA classification issues or attract securities law analysis.
AI tool → AI Act & GDPR obligationsAI used for onboarding or transaction monitoring creates AI Act deployer obligations and GDPR data governance requirements.
Outsourcing → Regulatory riskOutsourcing compliance or operational functions to third parties can create governance, liability and regulatory accountability risks.
