Viktor Juskin provides broad expertise in complex financial frameworks in Costa Rica and internationally. As a Co-Founder of LegalBison, he specializes in bridging the gap between how digital asset platforms function and how global regulators classify them.

Institutional Foundation & Career Path

Viktor Juskin’s expertise comes from a professional history spent inside heavily regulated financial institutions, in particular:

• Regulated Brokerage Leadership: Previously served as the Head of Brokerage and FX Dealer for Admiral Markets Group, a major European FX/CFD broker. Viktor held direct responsibility for execution and regulatory compliance within a MiFID II-governed environment;
• Banking Sector Experience: During his time at a major European bank, he gained first-hand knowledge of internal risk assessments, AML/CTF protocols, and corporate due diligence procedures;
• Entrepreneurial Development: Directly participated in building the operational infrastructure that allows the firm to operate across 50+ jurisdictions today;
• Academic Background: Holds a formal education in economics and business administration.

Technical Regulatory Specialization

Viktor Juskin conducts the analysis needed to define every project’s regulatory path within a particular jurisdiction. His technical work includes:

• Payment Flow Architecture: Develops the models used to map a client’s fund movements, identifying exactly where fiat-to-crypto transitions and custodial roles trigger licensing requirements;
• Institutional Banking Strategy: As a former bank insider, advises clients on entity structuring to meet the onboarding standards of global financial institutions;
• Compliance Framework Analysis: Contributes deep-dive research into MiCA, MiFID II, PSD2, PSD3, and FATF standards.
• Cross-Border Implementation: His work covers EU-regulated markets, MENA, LATAM, and offshore territories within the firm’s global service scope.

Summary of practice focus in Costa Rica

Viktor Juskin’s work in LATAM and Caribbean markets runs through LegalBison’s Costa Rica office. For clients structuring digital asset operations in this region, his background as a former bank insider matters: he approaches every engagement knowing that the entity structure has to satisfy both the regulator and the bank. Getting licensed means nothing if the client can’t open an account.
