About Us

Legal Kornet is a fintech and blockchain law firm founded in 2012. We have been working in crypto law since 2016. During that time, we have built a strong network of international partners and alumni across key jurisdictions, which helps us coordinate cross-border structures and handle complex regulatory matters efficiently and with care.

Our team combines expertise in crypto, fintech, and technology law. We advise on Web3, data protection, intellectual property, crypto licensing, gambling and forex licensing, and legal due diligence. We support clients where innovation meets regulation. Our longstanding work in technology law, combined with an early focus on crypto advisory, has helped us anticipate major regulatory changes. We advised clients during the ICO era, supported them through the introduction of GDPR, and continue to guide them through MiCA and the new AI Act.

The People Behind the Work

You’ll work with the best lawyers and specialists who handle complex questions with clarity and care. We focus on practical solutions that match your goals, timeline, and budget. You’ll always know what we recommend and why.

Founder

Hi, I’m Nikita Tepikin, founder and Managing Partner of Legal Kornet. I have been licensed to practice law in New York since 2014. I also hold an LL.M. in International IP and am a registered Patent Attorney and GDPR-certified specialist.

I started out as a solo practitioner. Over time, I built Legal Kornet into an international firm with a trusted professional network across key jurisdictions. The goal has remained the same from the beginning: to provide effective legal support to clients around the world, regardless of borders, and help their businesses grow.
