Fintech

Fintech players are united in the pursuit of digital transformation in every aspect of the heavily regulated financial services industry.

Fintech is a crowded space and those operating in it need a clear competitive edge. As the market matures, survival or failure is increasingly dependent upon:

  • Getting regulatory compliance right;
  • Making the right partnerships at the right time on the right terms; and
  • Driving adoption by ensuring excellent user experience.

We have a track record of providing high-quality and innovative legal advice in the fintech space. As a recognised banking powerhouse, we have a huge knowledge base and extensive experience of advising on financial services and financial technology regulation.
