Our Collaboration in Delivering Outstanding Value to Clients

We are proud to collaborate with iLEX, a consulting firm that is legally independent from The Fintech Lawyer Inc. iLEX is a leading provider of comprehensive regulatory compliance solutions. This collaboration allows us to deliver timely, solution-oriented legal advice to clients, thereby bolstering our value proposition to clients.

By partnering closely with iLEX, our law firm extends its capabilities to cover a wide range of areas crucial to businesses operating in highly regulated sectors. The law firm does not itself provide these consulting services.

The expanded legal services we can offer in collaboration with iLEX and other non-affiliated consultants include expertise in these key areas:

  • Risk management infrastructure. We leverage our combined legal and operational expertise to build best-in-class risk management infrastructure, including a software-powered risk assessment with linked risk management policies and procedures. We can provide information security assessments, infosec policies, and an outsourced information security officer for regulated financial companies.

  • Leveraging our relationships and credibility with banks and fintechs to secure “good fit” partnerships between banks and fintechs.

Our collaborative approach with iLEX ensures that clients receive holistic support, blending our legal expertise with iLEX’s innovative compliance solutions. By leveraging this synergy, businesses can stay ahead of regulatory changes and focus on achieving their strategic objectives.
