For 28 years, across 20+ jurisdictions and nearly $1 billion in closed transactions, he's operated on a simple principle: every problem has a solution. Sometimes simple. Sometimes creative. Always tailored.
The Journey
He started in tech - just in time to watch the 2001 dot-com crash obliterate his industry overnight. But legal frameworks don't disappear. They adapt. He pivoted to commercial law, then dove into the most complex arena in cross-border practice: iGaming licensing and international payments.
This wasn't theoretical work. This was drafting term sheets that had to satisfy regulators in five jurisdictions simultaneously. SPAs that balanced conflicting tax treaties. MOUs that bridged completely different definitions of "payment processing" across continents.
He worked alongside US law firms on prospectuses. Navigated licensing requirements from Malta to Curaçao, Singapore to the BVI. Built a network spanning Dubai, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Georgia, Seychelles, Curacao, Panama, anywhere regulatory complexity met business opportunity.
Then came real estate investment structures. Same cross-border complexity. Different asset class. Same pattern recognition.
Now? Digital assets. Tokenization. Assetization. The regulatory game he's been playing for nearly three decades - just with new pieces on the board.
The Difference
Most lawyers understand what the law says. Erez understands how regulators in different jurisdictions think about risk. He knows that a gaming license in Malta opens certain doors. One in Curaçao opens different ones. Same goes for CASP or VASP licenses. The question isn't which license you have - it's which doors matter for your specific business model.
He doesn't just wrap legal protection around your business idea. He shows you angles you didn't see. Sometimes a small shift in structure - how you frame a transaction, where you position certain activities - makes the difference between a deal that works and one that dies in regulatory review.
His clients' success is measured simply: the value they received over the years far exceeds what they paid. Because in complex cross-border transactions, there's no substitute for someone who's seen this before - who knows where the traps are before you step in them.
