Who We Are

Lattude (pronounced "Latitude") is a boutique legal and business advisory firm that specializes in helping financial technology startups and growth stage companies achieve their goals. Our primary focus is on companies in spheres of blockchain, digital assets, and financial technology, but we love to work with all technology startups. We expertly guide our clients from corporate format

ion to navigating the ever changing financial regulatory and compliance landscape and everything in between. Digital GC

We act as a Digital GC, providing its legal and advisory services primarily through virtual media – since this is cost effective for our clients and we believe is how today’s fast moving businesses make the most of their time and resources. Working virtually with our clients allows them to “outsource” their in-house counsel function most efficiently, instead of incurring the fixed costs of hiring an internal counsel. As Digital GC, we can integrate closely with your company, and provide legal advice and strategic guidance focusing specifically on the unique needs of your growing company. Of course, where feasible, we also value in-person meetings. Before a counsel can provide any advice, we must know your business inside out, understand your goals and vision as well as appreciate the specific challenges your company faces. We think that it is fair for us not to charge for this “get-to-know-you” process, since we’re not yet giving you legal advice or guidance. We normally allocate a one-hour meeting to this process, including any necessary follow-ups to ensure we have a full understanding of your business and legal needs. After the free initial consultation, an hourly FLAT FEE will apply. Each client deposits a standard retainer and any work will be charged on a pay-as-you-go basis from that retainer, which would be replenished periodically when it falls below an agreed minimum limit. This enables our clients to budget for day-to-day legal needs and provides transparent pricing. What Do You Get?

- FREE one-hour meeting to get to know your company
- A dedicated counsel who is virtually intertwined with your business
- Unlimited phone calls and email exchange on routine legal issues within the cost of the retainer
- Around-the-clock access to your attorney

“We want to be the AWS of crypto”.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is building a Cloud suite of products that you can think of as crypto computing services, to help developers build their applications faster.

For all of the accolades received by Coinbase for not only being the first major crypto firm to go public, but also for doing so via the largest direct listing in history, its revenue base is overly reliant on transaction fees (90%). Its new Coinbase Cloud offering aims to address this issue.
