Fintech, AI, and regulated business strategy. Navigating complex regulatory environments. Governance, licensing, risk frameworks, and regulatory engagement. 15+ years of experience.
Montaire & Co. helps AI companies expand into Europe — structuring each one in the right EU jurisdiction, headquartered in Luxembourg and operating across the EU. We combine cross-border legal depth with a founder's bias for speed.
Four regulations, one deadline, zero in-house expertise — that's the reality for most AI companies entering Europe. The EU AI Act, GDPR, MiCA and a patchwork of national rules all land at once, usually right as a US or international team is trying to close its first European deal. Traditional firms bill by the hour and speak in caveats, leaving founders guessing what actually matters.
We built Montaire to do the opposite: fixed scope, fixed price, plain language, and one team that owns the outcome from first call to full compliance. You know what we're doing, why it matters, and what it costs — before we start.
The focus is deliberate. We work only with AI and technology companies, on the questions that block European growth — entity and banking structure, cross-border data, AI Act classification, and the right EU jurisdiction for each company. Luxembourg, Ireland, the Netherlands and Estonia most often, anywhere in the EU when it fits — your entry point into Europe, with Luxembourg as home base.
Across 15+ years, our team has supported $3.4B+ in client deals and transactions and currently safeguards over $1B in client value under legal care.
“The only regulatory boutique built exclusively for AI companies expanding to Europe — so the regulation becomes our problem, and the market becomes your advantage.”
Active on stage and in the room across the global AI, crypto and finance-regulation community.
We build trust from day zero — and we treat regulation as leverage, not burden. In Europe, the companies that master the rules first are the ones that win the market.
