    FinTech Legal Services

From mobile payment systems to blockchain, the evolution of modern technology has transformed financial services.

New technology has created, and will continue to create, new ways of doing business. There are considerable opportunities to diversify the way that financial services companies use technology, and we have significant experience working in both these spaces, including support to start-ups and with investors who are taking advantage of these opportunities.

Our team benefits from lawyers with experience advising on various legal aspects affecting the underlying technology of a FinTech, but we offer an additional benefit for businesses looking for a holistic provision of legal advice.
