Disruptive innovation in financial services

Fintech

Fintech is the expression of a new technological economy, shared and connected, in which entrepreneurs, investors, governments and regulators, not to mention incumbent financial institutions and asset managers play a central role.

Given that Innovation is at the heart of our core values, we leveraged our history and experience as leaders in banking & finance and technology matters to set up a Fintech team and provide a comprehensive and integrated response to its diverse expressions and facets.

Due to the complexity of the Fintech industry, our multidisciplinary team also includes experts in cybersecurity, privacy and tax law.
