FinTech Legal

About

Provided by Walkers

We are actively engaged in advising fintech clients: both new entrants and global leaders – on a wide array of complex, high-value, and multi-jurisdictional matters. Our team is uniquely positioned at the intersection of financial services law and digital innovation, and we are increasingly recognised as a market leader in Guernsey for advising digital asset businesses, both from offshore and on-island.

Our expertise spans the full spectrum of fintech legal and regulatory needs, including corporate structuring, seed financing, licensing applications, ongoing regulatory compliance (including AML/ CTF, data privacy and cybersecurity), establishing a Guernsey presence, employment law, user terms and agreements, security and loan documentation, disputes and insolvency.

Our firm works with the world’s largest financial institutions: banks, asset managers, broker-dealers, trading platforms, insurers, payment services providers and fintech companies – supporting them across both traditional financial services and emerging fintech mandates.

We are proud to be the leading firm in Guernsey at the intersection of crypto assets and trust law: a cutting-edge and increasingly significant area of practice where we are uniquely positioned to advise. Our unmatched expertise in this niche field has positioned us as the go-to counsel for structuring and holding digital assets within fiduciary and trust arrangements.
