FinTech/MiCA

The financial sector has undergone extensive digitization in recent years. Newly established FinTech companies and well-established financial institutions now offer digital financial services, creating new business models and growth opportunities within the financial sector.

FinTech solutions are subject to various acts, still constituting a new category in legal terms where many branches have yet to be explored. Therefore, navigating through the regulations requires thorough legal advice. At Lund Elmer Sandager, our specialists can help you navigate the jungle of complex regulation, allowing you to focus on your business.

You can e.g. get legal advice on the following matters:

1. Regulatory advice and compliance
2. Blockchain and crypto assets, including tenders, obtaining financial permits, smart-contracts and other crypto asset service providers (CASP)
3. Legislation on payment services, including establishment and financial permits, strong customer authentication and third-party services
4. Establishment and operation of crowdfunding/crowdlending platforms
5. AML/KYC programs and related matters, as well as the digitization of compliance in general

The FinTech sector is uniquely positioned at the intersection of finance, technology and data protection. Therefore, we work interdisciplinary at LES to offer a holistic advice across our specialties.

Our specialists advise both national and international FinTech companies and financial institutions, regardless of where they are on their FinTech journey. We assist newly established FinTech companies in their startup phase as well as established FinTech companies and financial institutions looking to scale their FinTech solutions through external financing or by marketing the FinTech solution in the EU. Our specialists have also co-authored the FinTech section in 'The Financial Technology Review'.
