FinTech has an inescapable relationship with law and regulation.
That's why we advise on the legal issues facing businesses that operate in the financial technology sector. Game-changing technologies like IoT connectivity and interfacing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, smart data discovery and interrogation, 5G and blockchain are being harnessed by start-ups, scale-ups, technology businesses and financial institutions to improve efficiency, connectivity and user experience in financial services. Since these technologies are so wide-ranging and fast-evolving, early engagement with legal advisors who are embedded in the sector is important. Lawmakers and regulators are increasingly engaged with innovative technologies — and as the law adapts, you need lawyers who are focused on doing the same.
We're highly active in the thriving financial services, technology and professional services ecosystems — working with a range of professional and government organisations involved in FinTech. Thanks to our technology funding offering, we're well placed to advise on relevant corporate, commercial and regulatory issues, while our cross-sector approach gives us insight into how emerging technologies can be deployed elsewhere. This proves helpful to clients who are developing innovative, technology-driven products and services.
