Fintech

Bridging the gap between tradition and technology.

Our fintech industry team delivers strategic legal counsel aligned with business imperatives—advising clients on embedded finance, banking as a service (BaaS), bank/fintech partnerships, decentralized finance (DeFi), distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), digital assets, tokenization, insurtech, proptech, artificial intelligence (AI), non-bank lending (including algorithm-based underwriting technologies), robotic process automation (RPA), green/sustainable fintech, and the existing, pending, and proposed regulatory framework applicable to each of these fintech topics and sectors.

We are one-stop legal counsel to participants in the fintech industry on corporate and governance matters, cutting-edge transactions, new laws and regulatory compliance, bet-the-company litigation and enforcement proceedings, and other dispute resolution matters. Areas in which we support fintech clients include:

  • Fintech platform financings, investments, and capital markets transactions
  • Transactional matters including structured finance and securitizations, financing transactions, mergers & acquisitions, international expansion and cross-border transactions, and securities offerings
  • IP protection, employment, regulatory compliance, privacy and cybersecurity, tax, and litigation
  • Defining, designing, structuring, recapitalizing, and rebuilding business models in a time of unprecedented and rapidly evolving economic, technological, and regulatory challenges

We represent many of the fintech industry’s global household names in developing strategies to comply with the ever-expanding regulatory landscape and in overcoming novel enforcement initiatives that threaten to delay or derail business objectives. We have advised our clients in executing 500+ emerging company and venture capital financing transactions with an aggregate value of more than $20 billion. Our established relationships with sovereign wealth funds and the venture capital and investment banking communities around the world benefit clients seeking to expand their ROI and market presence. Our global talent and resources and key relationships allow us to provide exceptional service to our clients as they traverse the shifting terrain of this fluid industry sector.
