FinTech Legal

Our FinTech Practice harnesses the strengths of our recognised leading lawyers in financial regulatory, technology and intellectual property to present novel legal solutions in an area which challenges traditional legal and regulatory boundaries. Our team is active in all areas of the FinTech ecosystem and has been advising on financial “disruptions” before the commencement of Singapore’s Securities and Futures Act in 2002.

With over 120 years of legal experience, our team often engages with regulators and Government authorities. We distil policy concerns underpinning legislation and combine them with an appreciation for the commercial concerns of our clients. In developing practical solutions, we strive to meet the needs of our clients in a manner that addresses policy concerns. Our team is at the forefront of proposed regulatory changes, and often work with industry stakeholders on the provision of incisive feedback on new legislation in public consultations, including those for new legislation to regulate equity crowdfunding platforms, P2P platforms and online payment systems.

Our clients range from venture capitalists, traditional fund managers, global banks, mature and emerging FinTech companies, start-ups, to technology service providers. We are often in dialogue with regulators and FinTech facilitators such as incubators and infrastructure providers which enable us to have a holistic view of the workings of the FinTech ecosystem, with greater clarity on its development.
