About the Founder

Shahid Jamal Tubrazy.

Cryptocurrency & FinTech Legal Consultant | Blockchain & Virtual Asset Advisor

I am Shahid Jamal Tubrazy, a Cryptocurrency and FinTech legal consultant and the founder of CryptoLawConsult.

My professional journey into cryptocurrency law began during 2018–2019, when I developed a strong interest in blockchain technology, digital assets, cryptocurrency regulation, and the rapidly evolving legal challenges surrounding virtual assets.

During the COVID-19 period, I devoted significant time to studying the legal, regulatory, and policy dimensions of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. What began as a professional interest soon developed into a focused area of legal practice and advisory work.

Between 2021 and 2023, I completed specialised online education and certification programmes relating to cryptocurrency, blockchain, FinTech, and digital asset regulation through leading institutions and educational platforms, including programmes associated with Duke University, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and Coursera.

Over time, I developed extensive practical knowledge of cryptocurrency regulation, Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), blockchain business models, AML/CFT compliance, token projects, cryptocurrency disputes, and international regulatory developments.

My Professional Journey in Crypto & Blockchain Law

As my knowledge and experience in cryptocurrency law developed, I began providing professional services to international clients through platforms including Fiverr, LinkedIn, and my personal and professional websites.

I have worked with cryptocurrency startups, blockchain companies, Web3 projects, digital asset businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate clients seeking assistance with the legal and regulatory aspects of their projects.

Areas of Advisory & Legal Research

My advisory work has included:

  • Cryptocurrency and blockchain legal research
  • Legal opinions on crypto and blockchain projects
  • Cryptocurrency regulatory analysis
  • VASP and crypto licensing guidance
  • AML/CFT compliance frameworks
  • KYC and KYB policies and procedures
  • Token and digital asset regulatory analysis
  • Security token and utility token assessments
  • Token sale legal documentation
  • Whitepaper legal review
  • Crypto exchange legal and compliance guidance
  • Blockchain startup advisory services
  • Business plans for crypto and FinTech projects
  • Proof of Concept and business model development
  • Regulatory compliance strategies
  • Risk disclosures and legal disclaimers
  • Website Terms and Conditions
  • Privacy Policies
  • AML/KYC policies and procedures
  • Token Sale Terms
  • Investor and subscription documentation
  • Corporate and regulatory structuring
  • Web3 and DeFi legal analysis
  • NFT and tokenisation projects
  • Cross-border cryptocurrency regulatory research
  • Legal research for blockchain and digital asset projects

My approach has always been to combine legal research with a practical understanding of how cryptocurrency and blockchain businesses actually operate. I believe that effective legal and regulatory guidance should take into account not only the applicable legal framework but also the commercial, technological, and operational realities of digital asset businesses.

Experience in Cryptocurrency Disputes & Scam Cases

Alongside my work with blockchain businesses and startups, I have also assisted individuals involved in cryptocurrency disputes, exchange-related issues, frozen accounts, unauthorized transactions, cryptocurrency scams, and cross-border digital asset disputes.

Since working in this field, I have gained practical experience in understanding the challenges faced by victims of cryptocurrency fraud. These matters can involve complex issues relating to blockchain transactions, cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet tracing, platform disputes, regulatory complaints, evidence preservation, and communication with relevant authorities and legal professionals.

My work in this area has helped me understand an important reality of the cryptocurrency industry: victims of fraud often do not know where to begin, what evidence to preserve, which authority may have jurisdiction, or how to properly structure a complaint.

Each cryptocurrency dispute can present different legal, technological, and jurisdictional considerations. Understanding the underlying transaction history, preserving relevant evidence, identifying the parties and platforms involved, and determining the appropriate legal or regulatory avenue can be critical to addressing these matters effectively.

This practical experience has also inspired much of my legal writing and research concerning cryptocurrency scams, digital asset disputes, cryptocurrency recovery issues, and emerging regulatory developments.

Building Trust with International Clients

Over the years, I have worked with clients and projects from different jurisdictions and professional backgrounds. My experience in cryptocurrency regulation and digital asset legal matters has enabled me to build professional relationships with international clients, blockchain businesses, crypto professionals, and legal practitioners.

As my work became increasingly international, I also received opportunities for collaboration and liaison with global law firms, cryptocurrency companies, blockchain professionals, and other businesses operating in the digital asset sector.

I believe that cryptocurrency law is inherently international. A single cryptocurrency transaction can involve a user in one country, an exchange operating from another jurisdiction, a blockchain network functioning globally, and regulatory or legal issues arising across multiple countries.

For this reason, I continue to follow developments in:

  • Cryptocurrency regulation
  • Blockchain compliance
  • AML/CFT standards
  • Virtual asset licensing
  • Digital asset policy
  • Cross-border regulatory developments
  • Emerging FinTech regulations

My objective is to understand these developments and their potential implications for individuals and businesses operating in the digital asset sector.

Legal Advisor to Blockchain Projects

I currently serve as a Legal Advisor to BlueLink Blockchain Services, where my work involves legal and regulatory considerations relating to blockchain and digital asset business activities.

I also continue to review and consider various cryptocurrency and blockchain projects requiring support with:

  • Legal structuring
  • Regulatory analysis
  • Compliance planning
  • Business documentation
  • Project development
  • Digital asset regulatory considerations

My work with blockchain projects focuses on helping businesses better understand the legal and regulatory considerations associated with their proposed activities while developing practical approaches to compliance and responsible growth.

Focus on Pakistan’s Emerging Crypto Regulatory Framework

Pakistan is entering an important stage in the development of its virtual asset regulatory ecosystem.

With the emergence of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) framework, cryptocurrency businesses, exchanges, Virtual Asset Service Providers, blockchain startups, and digital asset projects require careful legal and regulatory planning.

A number of cryptocurrency-related projects and business proposals are currently being considered and structured with attention to Pakistan’s developing virtual asset regulatory environment and the applicable PVARA framework.

My work in this area includes research and advisory work relating to:

  • PVARA licensing
  • Virtual Asset Service Providers
  • Cryptocurrency exchanges
  • Blockchain startups
  • Virtual asset compliance
  • AML/CFT obligations
  • Corporate structuring
  • Business planning
  • Regulatory applications
  • Legal documentation
  • Pakistan’s Virtual Assets Act
  • Related regulatory developments

As Pakistan’s regulatory framework continues to evolve, my objective is to help businesses better understand the legal pathway for responsible and compliant participation in the country’s developing digital asset ecosystem.
