A defined path before starting procedures
01
Understanding your project
We identify whether you need to review an investment, provide services, issue assets or develop a project involving real estate.
02
Defining the requirements
We review the activity, available documentation, competent authorities and professionals who need to be involved.
03
Agreeing on our support
We define deliverables, representation, fees, third-party expenses and responsibilities before starting the engagement.
The service offered consists of legal advice and assistance with procedures. Regulated activities require the applicable authorizations; decisions rest with the competent authority. Legal review does not guarantee returns, the absence of losses or project approval.
Does your project also involve real estate?
We integrate real estate due diligence, contracts and registration procedures. For tokenization projects, we separately review the property’s legal status and the rights documented by the issuance.

- Describe the activity, intended clients, countries involved and each participant's role.
- Organize the corporate documents, ownership information, contracts and project description you already have.
- Identify providers and previous communications with authorities. Clarify whether the project involves custody, exchange or issuance before choosing a procedural route.
This checklist helps you prepare for a consultation; it is not an exhaustive list of filing requirements. The applicable documents and procedure depend on the case.
