Experience

We assisted our client, an app-based ride sharing service, in connection with its response to a high-profile data incident that resulted in numerous regulatory investigations around the world, resulting ultimately in a successful outcome.

Our client, one of the largest financial services organisations in the world, decided to back disruptive fintech start-ups by ‘partnering’ with firms offering innovative insurance products in specialist markets. We helped our client achieve its aim by combining regulatory compliance with nimble contracting so the ‘disruptors’ were not overburdened by “big finance” bureaucracy. Working across Europe and the US, our client has dozens of established partnerships and is seen as a leader in disrupting its industry from within.

Our client, a provider of telemedicine services, has developed a market-leading service and app to enable patients to see doctors remotely. We have assisted them to navigate the complex regulatory landscape for digital health, including issues relating to data protection and NHS confidentiality.
