Fintech

Our firm diligently tracks the latest trends in this rapidly evolving domain to provide timely and appropriate advice. For services requiring registrations or other forms of licenses and approvals in Japan, we offer an all-encompassing range of legal services related to fintech, including negotiations and consultations with the Financial Services Agency and other regulatory authorities, advice on establishing systems, preparation and review of documentation necessary for applications, and post-licensing support for legal compliance.

We cover a broad spectrum of fields in the fintech domain, drawing on our considerable experience. Our expertise ranges from providing fintech solutions in existing financial domains, such as InsurTech, which is transforming the global insurance market, and BaaS (Banking as a Service), which enables the modularization of banking functions, to emerging fields like Web3, involving the issuance and trading of cryptocurrencies and security tokens utilizing blockchain technology.

We also offer support for due diligence and legal compliance when companies involved in M&A engage in fintech, as well as assistance with registrations and other procedures to ensure smooth business successions.

Using our firm’s strong network with regulatory authorities, Mori Hamada possesses a strategic advantage in being able to provide practical advice promptly and effectively.
