ABOUT MAHAD MERAJ
I am a legal professional specialising in Web3 law, blockchain regulation, and digital asset compliance, currently working as a Legal Associate at Crypto Accountants & Advisors Ltd; a specialist consultancy at the intersection of tax, law, and emerging technologies. My core expertise lies in crypto tax law, FCA/AML regulatory compliance, DAO structuring, token governance, and smart contract advisory. I routinely assist Web3 founders, DeFi platforms, and NFT creators in navigating the evolving legal landscape of decentralised finance and blockchain-based ecosystems. My work includes reviewing and drafting complex commercial contracts, supporting audit readiness for smart contracts, and ensuring legal compliance across multi-chain structures. Previously, I held positions at ABS & Co and Elegant Solicitors, where I was involved in civil and commercial litigation, M&A transactions, and large-scale infrastructure advisory, including the Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project. I’ve negotiated commercial contracts and leases, managed client disputes, and contributed to corporate legal strategy at every stage. I hold an LLB (Hons) from the University of London and an LLM in Legal Practice (LPC) from the University of Law, specialising in mergers & acquisitions, intellectual property, and commercial dispute resolution. Beyond legal practice, I am committed to mentoring junior professionals and advancing access to legal education, especially in emerging fields like crypto regulation. I’m passionate about building bridges between law, technology, finance and helping clients stay compliant, forward-looking, and legally secure in the blockchain era.
