FinTech

We have consistently held the position of market-leaders in advising on the application/launching of new technologies and providing them to the market, including the finance sector, from e-infrastructure solutions and implementation of modern tech and payment solution to the advent of blockchain and digital currencies, and everything in-between. Long before the term “FinTech” was established, we had been working on many of the most prominent and ground-breaking technological developments in financial markets.

Our strong relationships with regulators, central banks and banks, insurers, funds and infrastructure and service providers mean that we understand the issues that affect every area of the financial technology ecosystem. This means that we understand how innovation and law interact.

We are proud to launch a dedicated, top ranked practice group for FinTech, bringing together legal professionals with diverse backgrounds in securities, technology, intellectual property, regulatory, e-commerce, e-signatures, data privacy, cybersecurity and a number of other key areas.
