DLA Piper confirms its partnership for 2021

FinTech Belgium is happy to announce our renewed partnership with DLA Piper. Discover who they are and what they will bring to our community… Enjoy!

____________

DLA Piper LLP has one of the world’s pre-eminent, multidisciplinary financial services and insurance sector teams based across 30 countries who represent major financial institutions and insurance undertakings globally on transactional, contractual, regulatory and contentious issues. Many of our lawyers are former business executives, in-house counsels, regulators, bankers and management consultants within the financial services and insurance industry. This combination of legal and industry experience allows us to truly understand the challenges and opportunities facing the sector and, therefore, to offer and implement practical and cost effective solutions for our clients.

Financial services & insurance sectors are at a pivotal juncture as they grapple with the impact of new technology, new distribution models, changing customer behaviour and more exacting local, regional and global regulations. The long-term opportunities for banks and insurers in a world where customers are focused on customer experience, where data driven business models rule and where people are living longer and have more wealth to protect are evident. But those opportunities are also bringing fresh competition, both from within the financial services & insurance industry, and a raft of "challengers" and "disruptors" coming in from outside. These new entrants include companies from the telecom sector, technology giants, health care companies, venture capital firms, scale-ups and nimble new start-ups. We truly believe that we can help FinTechs realizing their ambition and support their innovation in a VUCA world, because FinTech and innovation are part of our DNA. We have over 15 years experience in innovating and digitizing our clients’ products and distribution; and we are a true combination of a top tier regulatory and a top tier IPT practice.

We offer the FinTech Belgium members:

• An integrated financial services and insurance sector approach.

• A sector-oriented full service team deeply rooted in Belgium:

  • composed of top tier sector specialists, backed by top tier specialist know-how from our IPT, data protection, corporate, banking, litigation, tax and employment departments;
