Fintech has disrupted and refreshed just about every corner of global finance, and its work is not nearly done yet. Whether you are part of the wave of exciting new entrants keen to take advantage of market changes, or working for a more established incumbent, trying to adapt your existing business model to the new terrain, our fintech lawyers are here to help you.
Our team of experienced financial technology lawyers can advise you on the most cutting-edge transactions, strategic agreements and advisory projects. You’ll be partnering with a multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional Fintech team which is at the forefront of change. We can help you across the global themes of AI, biometrics, blockchain and crypto, cloud, cybersecurity, digitization, payments, operational resilience and RegTech - transcending traditional areas of practice.
The fintech industry is constantly evolving, and the trend for complex and sophisticated regulation seems unlikely to change. Our Fintech team will keep you ahead of these changes, with strong relationships with regulators and other government bodies.
Several of our lawyers have practical fintech experience – from in-house roles with global banking and insurance clients, regulators and leading technology platforms. We have worked with our clients to structure some of the most innovative joint venture and strategic partnering arrangements in the payments industry, including advising one of the world’s largest banks.
We’re also part of a major global Banking and Finance legal team offering a full-service approach - we regularly advise leading financial institutions, financial services companies, merchants and fintechs on strategic relationships, investments, IP, tax and compliance matters. So whatever your legal issue, we can provide you with a one-stop shop for commercially-focused legal advice.
