About
Provided by Schalast Law I Tax
The department covers the entire FinTech sector. A certain focus is on loan platforms, where almost all major German providers have been legally structured by Schalast's lawyers. But also the areas of payment, deposit business, blockchain and recently increasingly factoring are covered. A great merit of Schalast is that they can also handle the "classic" banking products. For example, in the area of refinancing FinTechs also securitizations, fund structuring and large-volume, international financing.
