FinTech
Onze FinTech praktijk heeft een Band 1 ranking van Chambers FinTech 2024
We zijn pionier op het gebied van FinTech en waren al FinTech-advocaten voordat die term gangbaar was. Dat komt onder andere omdat technologie en innovatie in het DNA van ons kantoor zit.
Onze dienstverlening is gespecialiseerd en tegelijkertijd veelomvattend, met een focus op thema’s als betaaldiensten, gegevensbescherming, (cloud) sourcing, blockchain, cyberbeveiliging, open banking, open finance, AI en crypto currency. We bedienen veelbelovende startups en bloeiende scale-ups, maar ook online platforms en gevestigde financiële instellingen.
In ons FinTech-team hebben experts op verschillende gebieden de krachten gebundeld. Zo hebben we specialisten op het gebied van regelgeving, IT, gegevensbescherming en mededinging. Deze combinatie van expertises maakt ons een volwaardige sparringpartner op het gebied van FinTech.
Als onderdeel van een internationaal netwerk van onafhankelijke advocatenkantoren, hebben wij zo nodig, toegang tot de beste buitenlandse FinTech specialisten.
