Fintech
What We Do
Our FinTech practice advises businesses operating at the intersection of technology and financial services on the legal, regulatory, and commercial issues arising from innovation‑driven financial models. We support clients involved in digital payments, blockchain‑based solutions, platform‑driven financial products, and other technology‑enabled financial services within Malaysia’s evolving regulatory landscape.
The practice draws on deep experience in financial regulation, corporate structuring, and technology‑related transactions, enabling us to advise on both early‑stage and established FinTech ventures. Our work frequently involves navigating regulatory requirements, addressing data protection and operational risk considerations, and supporting commercially viable deployment of financial technologies. The practice is further supported by strong industry engagement, allowing us to provide informed and practical guidance in an area shaped by rapid technological development and regulatory change.
How We Can Assist You
We advise FinTech companies, financial institutions, technology providers, and investors on the legal and regulatory aspects of developing, launching, and scaling technology‑enabled financial services. Our work includes advising on regulatory positioning, licensing and compliance requirements, corporate and investment structures, and transactional documentation.
We assist clients in managing regulatory engagement, addressing data protection and cybersecurity considerations, and structuring commercial arrangements that support innovation while mitigating legal and operational risk. For early‑stage ventures, we provide guidance on establishment, funding, and strategic partnerships, while supporting more mature businesses with regulatory alignment, expansion initiatives, and cross‑border considerations. Throughout each engagement, we focus on providing clear, pragmatic advice that enables clients to innovate responsibly and operate with confidence in a rapidly evolving FinTech environment.
