First and Final Stop for Those in the Fintech Sector

As the global economy has embraced new technologies in financial services, so too has Mintz. We focus on systems that help entities entrenched in financial services thrive at the cutting-edge of business and technology, including blockchain, cryptocurrency, and other emerging financial technologies. We advise innovators, investors, startups, and financial institutions on a wide range of industry- advancing transactional, litigation, corporate, securities, intellectual property, and regulatory matters. It is because of this commitment to innovation that Mintz was one of the first law firms to advise on an Initial Coin Offering (ICO).

What Our Clients Are Saying

I find them to be great negotiators. I appreciate that when they see something, even if we aren't engaged in the issues, if they see something applicable in the market to our company, they reach out and keep us in the loop. It's a very good partnership.
