Jonathan Ng
Crypto & ECVC
About
I’m Jonathan, founder of Azure Legal, a New York Emerging Companies and Venture Capital firm for the crypto ecosystem. I’ve been in crypto since 2017 and have practiced at the intersection of web3 law and ECVC work since 2022, advising founders, projects, and investors on token structuring, SAFTs, crypto ECVC transactions, and token legal opinions.
I’ve seen the market through more than one cycle, so I know which structures survive a downturn and which fail the first time a regulator or investor looks closely. Admitted to the New York bar in 2016, I hold an LL.M. in Intellectual Property from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and an LL.B (Hons) in Law from the University of Glasgow School of Law in Scotland, which sharpens my work on cross-border compliance for teams and capital that span jurisdictions.
I’m licensed to practice law in New York and for transactional matters, I represent clients across the United States and internationally, working seamlessly with local counsel where needed.
If you are launching a token, raising from crypto-native investors, or need a legal opinion your counterparties will accept, I would welcome the conversation.
