Piper Alderman has developed a reputation in the market as the ‘go to’ firm in Australia for our expertise in FinTech, RegTech and blockchain-based projects. We pride ourselves on bringing tradition and innovation together to benefit our clients. We act for leading international and domestic financial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges, fintechs and payment companies, gaming companies, start-ups and non-profits including Digital Surge, the Security Alliance as well as the blockchain analytics firm, Chainalysis. We are also a trusted local advisor to leading international and US law firms in relation to fintech and blockchain matters.
Our experience traverses the lifespan of business - from workshopping very early stage concepts to build scalable and marketable solutions, to advising founder-held and start-up businesses through the process of obtaining VC or PE money, to working with established businesses looking to pivot or deliver product enhancements and new service offerings.
We assist a range of FinTech and blockchain clients on financial service regulations including on Australian financial services licensing, anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF), financials sanctions and compliance. This work involves advising clients on the application of financial services law, consumer credit and AML/CTF laws to innovative product offerings such as decentralised finance, payments and card offerings, yield and lending products, and crypto-derivatives.
