Lawyers in Rimon’s financial services practice have been advising clients, nationally and internationally, for many years. More recently, they have supplemented this practice with attorneys focused on advising clients on cutting-edge legal and regulatory issues facing all players in the modern financial services ecosystem. They draw upon our experience in financial regulatory issues, data protection and privacy, e/m-Commerce, payment systems and processing technology transactions and related intellectual property to serve clients in the fintech space.

In keeping with Rimon’s service model, the fintech team relies on highly experienced lawyers across multiple disciplines to handle the “heavy lifting” at a high value to clients. The team consists of lawyers with many years of deep experience, not only with law firms but also with financial institutions and regulatory agencies. Recent additions strengthen Rimon’s capabilities to counsel clients on financial regulatory and intellectual property matters, KYC compliance issues, digital and mobile payment systems, anti-money laundering (AML), bank chartering, cryptocurrency, and blockchain issues.
