Our award-winning Fintech, Market Infrastructure and Payments (FMIP) Group is the ‘go-to’ practice for strategic advice on wholesale and retail payments, securities settlement, digital assets, distributed ledger technology, and the development of new and innovative products and systems.
We support a wide range of clients on complex and market-changing projects, spanning:
- financial market infrastructures (FMIs) – including payment systems, CSDs and CCPs;
- exchanges and other trading venues;
- payment and e-money institutions;
- digital assets firms – including exchanges, custodians and other service providers;
- other fintech businesses; and
- traditional financial institutions.
Our strong relationships with clients, alongside our active involvement with leading payments, digital assets, financial markets and fintech-related trade associations, means we help to shape the direction of legal and regulatory developments affecting our clients – rather than merely advising on the law.
Our cross-disciplinary team provides a ‘one-stop shop’ for all of our clients’ needs – covering expertise in payments, FMI, digital assets and other financial services regulation, AI, technology and commercial contracts, banking and insolvency, IP, data protection & privacy law, competition law, M&A and other strategic transactions, and contentious matters.
