FinTech

In recent years, Luxembourg has positioned itself as a frontrunner in the financial technology (abbreviated as FinTech) sector. The presence of a financial centre at the heart of Europe, combined with a stable political, economic and regulatory framework, a business-friendly environment, and the necessary expertise has proved to be fertile ground for FinTech companies to establish themselves in Luxembourg.

Our team is at the forefront of market developments and has recognised expertise in assisting clients with complex, precedent-setting projects in Luxembourg and abroad. With a team of specialised lawyers in our various practice areas such as financial regulatory, AML, DORA, IP and data protection, capital markets; corporate/M&A, finance and investment funds, our firm possesses an unparalleled workforce and expertise to handle every legal facet of FinTech business projects.
