We are the leading Fintech team in Finland and are ranked in the top tier in all major international rankings which include sections on Fintech. Due to this, we are the go-to partner for clients across the Fintech field from banks and financial institutions to start-ups and emerging growth companies.
We advise our clients on a full range of Fintech related matters including regulatory compliance, licensing requirements, payment services, electronic identification and open finance, Insurtech, data protection and cybersecurity, AI regulation, IT & technology, IPR, tax structuring, capital raising, consumer protection, commercial contracts and partnerships, M&A, competition and employment law – and more.
Fintech requires not only a deep and extensive understanding of regulation but also knowledge of – sometimes implicit – industry processes, standards and technical frameworks. Due to this, we make sure that we stay on top of the technical solutions available and of the ever-evolving market – looking to the future to create sustainable value.
By combining lawyers with specialist knowledge from different practices of our firm, we are able to provide an efficient top-class service to our Fintech clients and are able to tackle the questions our clients face from a broad perspective. To find long-lasting, sustainable success, we sometimes have to look beyond existing solutions. To do this, we take great care in ensuring that we stay on top of new and changing regulation. Our strong experience with relevant authorities means we are also able to support our clients in their dialogue with local regulators.
We are committed to driving the market forward, and our lawyers frequently speak at conferences and events. We also host seminars and roundtable discussions addressing Fintech and digitalization from various perspectives. We work in close cooperation with Helsinki Fintech Farm, the Fintech Hub in Helsinki, Finland, building bridges between corporations, startups and regulators in the field of finance. Also, we are active members in the Finnish Fintech Ecosystem and the Finnish representatives in the FinTech Lawyers Network. We also maintain close relationships with leading law firms worldwide, ensuring a global reach.
