The Travers Smith Fintech, Market Infrastructure and Payments (FMIP) Group is the ‘go-to’ practice for strategic advice on wholesale and retail payments, securities settlement, digital assets, distributed ledger technology and the development of new and innovative products and systems.
We support a wide range of clients on complex and market-changing projects, spanning:
- financial market infrastructures (FMIs) – including payment systems, CSDs and CCPs;
- payment and e-money institutions;• digital assets firms – including exchanges, custodians and other service providers;
- other fintech businesses; and
- traditional financial institutions, including trading venues.
Between them, our clients are responsible for moving trillions of pounds worth of securities, payments and assets on a daily basis. No other UK firm has our market-leading presence in this area.
Our strong relationships with clients, alongside our active involvement with leading financial markets, payments, digital assets and fintech-related trade associations, means we help to shape the direction of legal and regulatory developments affecting our clients – rather than merely advising on the law.
