Leveraging more than twenty years of experience serving clients in the financial sector, our firm has carved out a strong standing as the preferred organisation for businesses in search of tailored and inventive legal guidance.
Our corporate and regulatory lawyers have extensive experience advising a wide range of clients, from start-ups to Fortune Global 1000 companies, including banks, insurance companies, asset managers, brokers and dealers, securities and derivatives trading platforms and clearing systems, cryptocurrency exchanges, distributed-ledger technology (“DLT”) platforms, financial technology (“FinTech”) based operations and technology business incubators.
The nature of Fintech itself raises a wide range of novel legal and regulatory uncertainties. Currently, there are few or no judicial or market precedents to guide the application of existing laws and regulations to the new methods of doing business. By leveraging our broad and deep understanding of financial regulatory issues and Fintech trends and our extensive experience working with financial market infrastructure players with cutting-edge technology, we are well positioned to help clients navigate the increasingly complicated landscape at the intersection of technology and regulation.
