Fintech

Acquired in private practice and in-house, advising banks and borrowers, insurance agencies, private investors and fund managers, software developers and licensors, on a host of regulatory and transactional issues.

Delegatus lawyers have worked for some of the world’s largest multinationals, supporting transformations in front office, middle office and back office activities.

We have also worked with Blockchain and distributed ledger start-ups, smart contracts (including their design) and ICOs, artificial intelligence engines, data analytics, SAAS developers and integrators, and wealth management platforms to build and maintain their relationships with wholesale and retail financial customers.

Some of our entrepreneur-lawyers have launched their own fintechs in parallel with their practice of law.
