BUFFALO, NY – Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman LLP has formed a Financial Technology (FinTech) practice team. With the FinTech industry continuing to see significant growth in investments and continuous regulatory development and technological advancement, the firm decided to solidify a FinTech practice team. The FinTech practice team will continue to assist clients with complex structured finance, securitization, fund formation and finance, consumer finance, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, leveraged and non-recourse finance, venture capital and private equity investment, intellectual property and navigating regulatory, data, and cyber-security intricacies.

“We have experienced increased demand in this industry over the past few years from both existing clients such as banking, lending and alternative finance and from new clients across the country who are involved in new FinTech businesses and start-ups including companies focused on application and software development,” said Christian M. Lovelace, a partner in Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman’s Corporate & Securities and Mergers & Acquisitions practices. “A primary concern we deal with right from the start with almost every client is guidance navigating the complicated and heightened regulatory environment. With increased consumer and commercial demand for new and innovative financial technology solutions, we wanted to be able to provide a clear solution for clients. By launching our FinTech practice team, we only formalized what we have been doing for some time now,” concluded Lovelace.
