Legal Innovation Advisers
Expert guidance and proven strategies to Derisk Small and Midsized investments in Emerging Economies
About
At BluStraits, we’re dedicated to revolutionizing small and medium impact investing through legal derisking and reform.
BluStraits’ team of experts has years of development law and policy reform experience and a passion for derisking human development investment,.
What we do
01
Localized Legal Support
Every market has lawyers who know how its rules actually work — which agency decides, which precedent holds, which clause will not survive review. BluStraits works through them, not around them. We bring international standards, comparative practice, and investor expectations; local counsel brings the ground truth. Scope, judgment, and credit are shared.
02
Legal and Regulatory Reform
Reform designed against an index produces good documents. Reform designed against a live transaction has a test it has to pass. We start from a deal, a sector, or an investor that is actually trying to move, identify the legal and regulatory constraints standing in the way, and design changes the responsible institutions can realistically administer.
03
Legal Capacity Building and Training
Training is usually a separate line item, delivered afterward, built around model laws. We build it from the files — the actual statutes, contracts, and negotiations of the engagement itself — delivered asynchronously or in person to lawyers, officials, and institutions. When the engagement ends, the capability stays.
