Through innovative, nimble, expert legal guidance and industry insights, we help UK and international fintechs, financial institutions and others achieve their commercial goals.
Positioned at the intersection of financial services and technology, the sector is delivering real impact in wealth management, banking, insurance, pensions, consumer finance, payments, e-money and e-commerce.
As the industry adapts – on a global basis – to solve problems and develop new financial products, innovation is enabled by advances in technology, data use and AI.
This dynamic environment is compounded by the evolution of financial regulatory systems and regulatory compliance standards globally. As new technologies and business models are adopted, these changes bring significant opportunities and complex challenges.
Businesses need lawyers who are not only well-versed in the unique requirements and dynamics of the sector but also committed to achieving clients’ commercial ambitions by providing timely, actionable guidance when challenges arise.
With many of our team having worked in-house in senior roles within the international fintech sector – within both direct-to-consumer and business-to-business environments, and from start-ups to unicorns – we know first-hand that businesses evolve quickly, and we can help at any stage of the customer lifecycle and product journey.
We excel in managing risks, identifying solutions and leveraging opportunities, ensuring that our clients remain compliant, competitive and innovative in the ever-changing fintech landscape.
We help businesses safely develop, protect, and leverage both existing and emerging technologies while using data in innovative ways.
We help businesses navigate legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements, offering practical advice from start-up to maturity, and assist in engaging with regulators and governmental authorities.
We advise businesses on enhancing customer experience and products, forging commercial collaborations, expanding internationally, making investment decisions, securing debt and equity funding, and developing intellectual property.
We assist businesses in managing regulatory and operational risks, navigating regulatory reviews, investigations, and commercial disputes, achieving data privacy compliance and cybersecurity goals, and protecting their brand.
We support businesses and their employees with advice on employment and right-to-work issues, staff incentive schemes, workplace requirements such as leases and health and safety, commercial arrangements, and taxation.
