OUR APPROACH

How We Advise Financial Services and FinTech Businesses

As financial services continue to converge with technology, digital assets, and artificial intelligence, we provide integrated advice that addresses both traditional financial regulation and emerging business models.

  1. A Complex and Fast-Moving Regulatory Landscape

    Financial services businesses operate within some of the most complex regulatory frameworks in the global economy. At the same time, technology is changing how payments, lending, investing and financial infrastructure are delivered. These developments create significant opportunities but also increase regulatory, transactional and enforcement risk.

  2. Corporate, Financing and Transactional Support

    Our lawyers advise on the establishment, acquisition, financing and operation of financial services and fintech businesses. We assist with corporate structures, strategic investments, venture and growth financings, M&A, joint ventures, commercial arrangements and international expansion.

  3. Licensing and Regulatory Requirements

    Averites advises businesses on licensing and regulatory requirements applicable to financial products and services, including payments, lending, investment activities, digital assets and other regulated financial activities. Where businesses operate across several markets, we coordinate advice across the relevant jurisdictions and help clients determine how regulatory requirements affect their broader commercial strategy.

  4. Financial Crime Compliance

    We also advise on financial crime compliance, including anti-money laundering, anti-bribery and corruption requirements. For businesses introducing new products or entering new markets, these issues are incorporated into product design and market-entry planning rather than treated solely as compliance functions.

  5. Fintech Infrastructure Relationships

    Fintech businesses frequently depend on complex relationships with banks, payment processors, technology providers and other infrastructure partners. We advise on commercial agreements governing these relationships and the allocation of regulatory, operational and technology risk.

  6. M&A and Investment in Regulated Businesses

    Our corporate lawyers represent financial institutions and investors in acquisitions, investments and disposals involving regulated businesses, including regulatory due diligence, change-of-control approvals and transaction conditions.

  7. Regulatory Investigations and Disputes

    Averites also represents businesses and executives facing regulatory investigations, enforcement proceedings, internal investigations and financial disputes.
