Fieldfisher debuts in the Chambers Fintech Guide

The firm has made its first appearance in the Chambers Fintech Guide 2025, two years on from the guide's launch. This accolade underscores our role as a leading finance and technology firm, who advises creators and users of FinTech, helping them create value and mitigate risk.

Stephen Cartwright, a Director in the Dispute Resolution group who acts for a range of crypto exchanges, service providers, victims of fraud and Insurers on a wide range of crypto disputes has been ranked Band 2 and the firm slotted in Band 3. Tony Lewis, Nathan Capone and William Gover are also key members of the team.

The team is described as "very approachable and commercial and wants to get the job done", while a client commented that "Stephen Cartwright comes across as a highly experienced solicitor who has an interest in achieving the best outcome for his client."

Fieldfisher’s expertise spans the entire FinTech lifecycle, from advising on early-stage funding to handling large-scale M&A for global organisations. The firm also provides comprehensive support in understanding regulatory risks, implementing compliant solutions in collaboration with regulators, and developing innovative models for technology exploitation. Additionally, the team delivers cutting-edge privacy and technology advice to market-leading financial and technology firms.

Commenting on this achievement, Stephen said : "I am incredibly honoured that both Fieldfisher and I as a practitioner have been ranked for the first time in the Chambers Guide on Crypto Asset Disputes. This is a recognition that is a true testament to the market leading expertise, dedication and collaborative spirit of our team that acts for crypto exchanges, crypto mining companies, tokens, service providers, victims of frauds and insurers. With increasing regulations (or at the very least aspirations to), price volatility and growing scrutiny by players and policy makers, Crypto Asset Disputes will continue to rise. There will be growing pressures to better navigate the myriad web of legal interpretations and market dynamics. From mitigating regulatory risks to implementing innovative, compliant solutions, we have been at the forefront of offering cross border expertise, and seamless guidance in a rapidly evolving industry. I’m especially grateful to our clients for their continued trust and partnership — it’s a privilege to work with such forward-thinking organisations."
