Not really, I mean why do they need them in the first place? If they operate under the law legal adviser is not needed. They could be lawyers, but I haven't seen anyone really focusing on crypto as this market is still in its infancy, so I don't believed that we have enough 'crypto lawyers' today. How to check their reputations? Go around the web, look for their profiles and check the people behind if legit or not.
In the last 8 months I visited a good number of ICO pitches, the projects were primarily based and established in Singapore. My first impression was that a legal adviser in a Singaporean ICO is as much important as a founder. I agree with you that it's hard to find an adviser focusing on crypto and there's no "crypto lawyer" as such, so far. However, as long as ICO/STO market is gaining interest from crypto communities and investors, the market itself and government start to react to this interest and "create" new requirements, for example, MAS guide to digital token offerings clearly states that a legal advice needed prior to deciding on a structure of a proposed digital token and a business model.
