This happens through their introduction by operators outside the traditional banking sector, but also through their adoption by established credit institutions.
The continued possibility of using new technologies in financial services, and the growth of new operators, will depend on the adaptation of the regulation of financial services in a way that stimulates this growth without undermining confidence in the financial sector.
CS'Associados has increasingly provided legal support in the area of fintech and crypto area to banks and other credit institutions, as well as to non-bank institutions, start-ups, scale-ups and investors, both in the development of new products and in adapting to and identifying opportunities arising from regulatory reforms. Assisting these businesses also enabled our team to develop a deep understanding of the market and its challenges.
Including the following:
Advising on an investment by a Bluetech Fund in the Portuguese subsidiary of Studentfinance, a fintech company providing student finance solutions, operating in the UK, Portugal and Spain.
Assisting in the establishment of a cryptoactive management company in Portugal.
We are strongly committed to providing ethically demanding and responsible services, contributing positively to the creation of long-term value towards a sustainable economy and a balanced society.
