Commonly, legal opinion is what we consider as an experienced lawyer’s advice. It is presented in the form of a document prepared by a client’s requirement. 

The article will provide you with all interested details regarding the provision of legal consultation.

Legal opinion: Why do we need it?

Banks frequently demand LOs from risky businesses in order to create an account for them, since when it comes to financial deals in banks, it is significant to make certain that the activities carried out are legal and comply with the rules of the bank’s country of incorporation, the client company’s country of registration, or the payer’s country.

Moreover, LO may be unavoidable for those who want to accept card payments in a risky industry. The document includes assumptions contingent on the client’s activities as a merchant or processing agent. 

In which cases legal opinion is used?

It is important to get legal advice when you have any concerns regarding tax implications. Legal opinion comes with details that discuss the intensity of hazards relating to taxes for specific deals.

LO is also used by crypto projects since the lawful framework is not transparent and involves a lot of pitfalls. 

This document is most frequently demanded in the fintech sector. In the case of transactions, an opinion from a lawyer will support identifying prohibitions on the provision of services from the chosen companies.
