It’s nothing new to say that the financial services sector is heavily regulated, but the rapid pace of change and the consequences of bad practice mean that FinTech is an area that is under particular scrutiny. When you incorporate highly automated or AI (artificial intelligence) driven processes into your business, whether through in-house development, outsourcing or acquisition, you need to be confident that they will stand up to the rigorous standards you maintain and that you are not incorporating cyber security risks into your business.
Our financial services team has garnered a substantial reputation for its work supporting FinTech businesses, whether it is helping to launch crowdfunding platforms, providing advice to funds and similar businesses that are adopting AI processes in a highly regulated environment, or taking initial coin offerings from concept to launch.
Some recent examples of our work include advising:
- Huddlestock, digital investment platform that focusses on “crowdtrading”
- FinHub Technologies t/a Exo, an AI focussed investment management platform
- Fundment, a digital investment solution built for advisers and their clients
- HouseSimple, an innovative online estate agent
- United Trust Bank on the launch of its cash management service through the Hargreaves Lansdown wealth management platforms
- Asset Match, an innovative investment platform to trade private company shares.
