FinTech

The financial markets are changing faster than ever before, due to large- scale disruptive innovations like Blockchain, cryptocurrencies and AI solutions as well as numerous start-ups. Houthoff's FinTech team has deep-rooted experience in the financial market and IT. They play a leading role in today's FinTech developments.

Our specialists advise a wide range of Dutch and international financial institutions and parties on a broad array of financial regulatory matters. We have pioneered the use of Blockchain from a very early stage. Some of our lawyers are frequent speakers on Blockchain technique at both national and international conferences, such as those organised by the International Blockchain Real Estate Association ("IBREA").

As a frontrunner in FinTech we deliver integrated advice to clients, combining our knowledge of IT, outsourcing, cloud computing, privacy, data protection, big data, the processing of personal data, e-commerce and intellectual property law.
