About Advisorn

Who We Are

Advisorn is an independent advisory firm based in Chiasso, Switzerland, at the crossroads of the Swiss and Italian financial ecosystems. We work at the intersection of law, technology and regulation, providing strategic counsel to companies, founders and institutions navigating complex and rapidly evolving environments.

Our advisory practice is supported by two specialised ecosystem platforms — BlockchainAnalysis.io for blockchain forensics and on-chain intelligence, and EasyLPD.ch for data protection compliance under Swiss and EU law. Together, they extend our advisory capabilities with dedicated technological tools.

Sector Experience

Industries We Serve

Technology & Digital Assets

We advise founders, investors and institutions operating in blockchain, DeFi, tokenisation and digital asset markets. Our team combines deep technical understanding with regulatory expertise to guide clients through the rapidly evolving landscape of digital finance — from token launches and exchange listings to protocol governance and blockchain forensic analysis.

Regulatory & Compliance Advisory

We help companies and institutions understand and meet their regulatory obligations across Swiss and EU frameworks. Our advisory covers the full compliance lifecycle — from initial regulatory mapping and gap analysis to ongoing monitoring and regulatory dialogue. We work with financial intermediaries, technology companies and institutional clients facing complex cross-border obligations.

Intellectual Property & Innovation

We support innovation-driven companies in developing and protecting their intellectual property portfolios. From trademark strategy and technology licensing to IP due diligence in the context of transactions, we help clients safeguard their most valuable intangible assets and turn innovation into a competitive advantage.

Data Protection & Privacy

Comprehensive advisory on Swiss data protection law (nLPD) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We assist organisations in achieving and maintaining compliance through practical, risk-based solutions — from privacy impact assessments and data processing agreements to breach notification protocols and cross-border data transfer mechanisms.

Corporate & Governance Advisory

We advise on corporate structuring, company formation and governance matters across Swiss and international frameworks. Whether you are incorporating a new entity, restructuring an existing group, or establishing a foundation for a decentralised project, we provide end-to-end support — from selecting the optimal legal form and jurisdiction to drafting shareholder agreements, articles of association and board-level documentation.

Our Mission

To bring clarity, coordination and independent judgement to complex legal, regulatory and governance matters — enabling companies and institutions to make informed strategic decisions with confidence, regardless of the complexity of the environment in which they operate.
