Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Really strong team that have great domain expertise. They were very easy to work with. They were quick in understanding the problems we needed solving and solved them for us.’
‘I worked with Peter Finch and his understanding of our industry, similar players, all the way down to the infrastructure they rely on was astounding. He deeply understood regulatory issues that specific use cases would face and how to mitigate against them. I've spoken to many lawyers who say they understand fintech and generally that hasn't been true but Peter shows both insight and foresight into an ever-changing industry like no other. ’
