Kennedy Van der Laan's FinTech practice is widely considered as a legal pioneer: we were FinTech lawyers before the term existed. This comes naturally as a technology and innovations is in our firms DNA. It has the largest multi-disciplinary FinTech team in the Netherlands. Our mandates are sophisticated and diverse and often comprise payment services, embedded finance, data protection, cyber security, open finance, AI, crypto currencies, investment services (online brokerage) and NFTs. Promising start-ups, thriving scale-ups, and established FinTechs and financial institutions all appear on our client list. Our firm is widely regarded as a strong technology firm and considered as a market leader in our FinTech, IT, data protection, licensing and intellectual property practices.
We are well connected with the relevant Dutch regulators; the Dutch Central Bank (“DNB”) and the Authority for the Financial Markets (“AFM”). Besides, our FinTech lawyers have a large network including key industry players in the financial sector. We can leverage our network to further support our clients beyond solely legal and regulatory advice. Our practice group values a practical and pragmatic approach.
