Penningtons Manches Cooper contributes to The Legal 500’s Fintech Country Comparative Guide

Posted: 19/03/2025

Penningtons Manches Cooper’s specialist fintech team has made a significant contribution to The Legal 500’s newly published Fintech Country Comparative Guide. The 2025 edition, which has been launched this week, provides a pragmatic overview of fintech law across multiple jurisdictions accompanied by a deep dive analysis of some of the key issues affecting the sector.

Partners Charlotte Hill (dispute resolution), Sarah Kenshall (IP, IT and commercial) and Pat Saini (immigration) as well as senior consultant Teja Picton-Howell (financial services regulation) were invited by The Legal 500 to compile the UK chapter, offering a country-specific synopsis of fintech laws and regulations.

Among the topics covered in their detailed Q&A feature are key regulatory and compliance requirements, securities laws around crypto assets, the complexities of intellectual property ownership, transparency of AI algorithms and the impact of immigration policies on hiring international talent. The chapter also considers such topics as the implications of using third party AI tools, risk management strategies to mitigate potential legal liabilities, areas which are currently attracting high levels of investment and potential risks to market growth.

Also contributing a chapter in this authoritative guide was German law firm Schalast, which like Penningtons Manches Cooper, is a member of Multilaw, the leading international network of independent law firms.
