Overview

As the financial services industry becomes more deeply integrated with technology, Torys’ multidisciplinary and bilingual fintech team offers robust financial services, intellectual property, technology, privacy and corporate finance expertise–all areas critical to the rapidly evolving needs of clients operating in the fintech space.

Our fintech team can help clients as they:

• navigate Canada’s regulatory regime. Torys’ financial services practice provides seasoned, sector-savvy legal advice to fintechs and financial institutions navigating regulatory regimes, engaging with regulators, developing new service offerings and negotiating agreements or partnerships.
• grow strategically. Strategic partners to our tech clients, the firm’s emerging companies and venture capital team supports both emerging fintechs and financial institutions to best create, acquire, use and commercially exploit their technology.
• cultivate contracting solutions. Positive, lasting relationships are critical to the success of many business objectives in the fintech space—and our technology contracting team works alongside clients to implement creative, commercially sound solutions that not only address complicated matters, but also foster sound, enduring relationships.
• manage data and cybersecurity. New technologies help collect, manage and analyze customer data as a matter of course; our data governance and privacy groups can assist in the implementation of robust long-term policy plans to safely leverage and manage data, address cybersecurity risks and handle ongoing regulatory compliance matters.
