DAO Formation & Governance Frameworks

Legal Structuring & Strategic Advisory for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations

DAOs are transforming how communities govern capital, IP, and digital infrastructure. But without clear legal structure and enforceable governance, DAOs face real operational and regulatory risks. At Borderless Lawyers, we help crypto-native teams and tokenized projects launch and scale DAOs that are both legally resilient and practically functional—across borders.

From choosing the right legal wrapper to drafting voting protocols and contributor agreements, we offer end-to-end support to ensure your DAO is built for legitimacy, longevity, and growth.

  • Jurisdictional guidance on forming DAOs with LLC, foundation, or hybrid entities

  • Popular DAO-friendly jurisdictions: Wyoming (USA), Marshall Islands, Switzerland (Zug), BVI, Cayman

  • Structuring for liability protection, treasury management, and regulatory alignment
