Baker McKenzie

Baker McKenzie assists fintech start-ups and established financial institutions, including PayPal, MoneyGram and Goldman Sachs, with the launch of credit cards, non-fungible tokens, digital wallets and online trading platforms. The team also advises on the formation of commercial partnerships with local merchants to facilitate these activities. Another critical aspect of the practice is helping clients understand the complex regulatory framework governing the storage of users’ personal data, digital payments, foreign exchange controls, crypto assets, and public offerings in Argentina and Latin America. Practice head Gabriel Gomez Giglio advises businesses involved in digital wallets and e-commerce platforms on payments law. Banking and finance lawyer Francisco Fernández-Rostello provides ‘practical and digestible’ counsel on cutting-edge products such as blockchain and cryptocurrency. The partners are assisted by banking and corporate associates Jerónimo Juan Argonz and Delfina Ferrario.
