Overview

The Role & Its
Institutional Context

Division Context

OTGM Capital Holdings Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated financial infrastructure holding company operating at the intersection of structured finance, real-world asset tokenization, and multi-jurisdictional capital markets. The Legal & Compliance function sits at the center of every capital structure the firm architects — from Delaware Series LP formations to ERC-1400 security token issuances under Reg D 506(c) and Reg S.

OTGM Capital is assembling the legal architecture for a platform that will deploy institutional capital across 24+ countries, structure tokenized securities for accredited and qualified institutional investors, and operate under the simultaneous oversight of the SEC, MiCA (EU), MAS (Singapore), UAE DIFC/ADGM, and Hong Kong SFC. The Senior Legal Counsel will be the primary legal architect for this work — not a reviewer of documents produced elsewhere, but the originator of the institutional legal framework that governs how the firm operates, capitalizes, and executes.

This role requires genuine fluency in Delaware corporate and trust law, SEC securities regulation (Reg D, Reg S, Investment Advisers Act), digital asset and token securities law, and the cross-border structuring mechanics of SPVs, LP funds, and fiduciary vehicles. Experience with decentralized protocols, ERC standards, or blockchain-native legal instruments is a material differentiator.

You will report directly to the Founder & CEO and work in close coordination with the Capital Structuring, Technology (Verdenova Technologies), and Origination teams. This is a senior individual contributor role with a clear pathway to General Counsel as the ecosystem scales.

  • Draft and negotiate Private Placement Memoranda (PPMs), Subscription Agreements, Investor Suitability Questionnaires, and LP Agreements to institutional-grade standards comparable to leading private equity and venture capital firms
  • Advise on Investment Advisers Act applicability, investment company exemptions, and related registration obligations as the firm's AUM scales toward USD $100+Million and beyond
  • Manage relationships with external SEC counsel, Blue Sky counsel, and international securities advisors across applicable jurisdictions

  • Advise on the legal characterization of tokenized interests under applicable securities law frameworks — including Howey analysis, investment contract determinations, and applicable exemptions
  • Develop and maintain legal opinion templates and standard form documents for tokenization transactions across the Nexus Platform pipeline
