Emerging Technologies
&
Artificial Intelligence

These new technologies open up numerous opportunities, but also bring with them a wide range of challenges. We will guide you through this dynamic environment and help you to realise your goals safely and successfully.

We advise companies and start-ups in the FinTech sector and support them in the implementation of blockchain techno­logies, distributed ledger techno­logy (DLT) and crypto assets.

Our expertise includes regulatory requirements, contract drafting, compliance and the legal aspects of initial coin offerings (ICOs) and token sales. We support our clients in setting up and operating FinTech business models. This includes the joint analysis of possible authorisation­forms as well as obtaining FinTech licences (banking licence light), banking licences, licences as a securities house and the registration of memberships with self-regulatory organisations (SRO) as a financial intermediary. In addition, we support our clients in the civil law and regulatory categorisation of blockchain-based business models and in the classification of tokens (ICOs, STOs, etc.).
