Why choose our Financial Services Technology and Payments lawyers?

We have decades of experience supporting financial sector firms and their suppliers, including advising on the regulatory impacts of rolling out new technologies and cross-border work. We understand that financial firms are technology-driven and highly regulated. Our clients are under unique pressures to innovate, respond to cost pressures and meet the highest standards for performance.

Our team offers deep expertise in implementing financial technology platforms and new products in areas as diverse as share and bond dealing, back office systems and fintech. We also support a wide range of traditional outsourcings, cloud and SaaS contracting and technology consulting. As well as contractual support, we regularly work with clients on their internal risk assessments and communications with the regulators on new projects. We focus on delivering pragmatic solutions to the legal, operational and regulatory challenges of technology implementations in critical financial services environments.

Equally, we support suppliers to the financial sector in understanding financial services customers and how to provide viable, compliant solutions. Our insights into the customers' and suppliers' perspectives helps us bridge gaps and conclude transactions more swiftly.

As payment services unlock new opportunities nationally and internationally, our team has a strong practice in this particular area.
