We at Holmes Mackillop recognise Scotland’s growing presence in the FinTech market and welcome the 21-day extravaganza, starting the 21st of September, with events across Glasgow and Edinburgh hosted by industry-leaders.
Scotland has long been a global financial hub. This combined with its history for innovation and invention has resulted in a burgeoning FinTech market, with 140 Scottish FinTech firms already up and running. With support and funding from the Scottish Government, through the Scottish Enterprise, Scotland has cemented itself as a world-class destination for FinTech. In fact, the growth in Scottish financial services recently outstripped London with 161,000 people employed in financial and related professional services.
Holmes Mackillop understands this sector and its legal needs.
The accelerating rate of technological change, combined with shifting customer preferences, is impacting the way in which financial services are structured, delivered and consumed, while the regulatory landscape itself is evolving in order to keep up with new financial regulatory transparency requirements. This, against a backdrop of rising spend on technology worldwide and stronger confidence in the market, has led to an explosion in FinTech investment.
We provide a robust offering of legal services to our clients in this sector, ranging from the day-to-day legal matters to novel issues. This includes intellectual property, data protection, regulatory compliance, corporate and commercial matters, employment and wider contract issues.
