If you need drafting (token terms, offering docs, policies) — we can convert review findings into a full legal documentation pack.
Do you rewrite the whitepaper or only comment?
We can do both. Standard review usually includes a marked-up version with edits and comments, plus a risk memo and recommended disclosures. If you prefer, we can keep changes as comments only.
Does a legal review guarantee compliance?
A review reduces risk by aligning language, disclosures and structure with legal expectations. Final compliance depends on jurisdiction, distribution and execution. We flag risks and propose implementable remediation.
Can you help with token terms and STO/issuance documents after the review?
Yes. We often start from a review and then prepare token terms, offering docs, subscription agreements, AML/KYC materials and governance packs.
Can you review marketing materials and website copy too?
Yes. Whitepaper review can be combined with a website/marketing claims review to ensure consistency across channels and reduce misrepresentation risk.
- Projects planning fundraising, listing or token sales.
- Teams onboarding exchanges, banks or custodians.
- Founders preparing investor due diligence.
- Marketing teams launching public communications.
We can also prepare token terms, STO documentation and compliance policies after the review.
