Testimonials

  • ‘Bird & Bird's team was fully supportive that we are a startup, so understood how we operate and how sensitive our cash outflow is. Additionally, the team was fully informed with the regulations in the freezone we are operating from, so when we asked for certain legal documents, you can immediately see the team bringing up all applicable regulations that may potentially impact the scope of work and how we could address them.’

  • ‘I worked with Jessica White and Gregory Man. Both are top class when it comes to providing proper consultancy and legal advise. They knew how to meet regulatory requirements for our fintech operations whilst ensuring we stay innovative in our approach.'
