Beccar Varela

Beccar Varela displays ‘commitment and dedication’ when assisting challenger banks, payment facilitators and other entities with the launch of fintech payment platforms and products, such as credit cards and video games incorporating blockchain technologies. The practice group also carries out due diligence and ensures regulatory compliance (including handling licensing registrations with the Central Bank and the Financial Information Unit) when clients enter the Argentine market, acquire other fintech companies, or undergo internal restructurings. The team also advises on the regulatory framework peculiar to non-fungible tokens and cryptocurrencies in Argentina. The department is led by banking and corporate specialist Daniel Levi, who ’achieves favourable results’ when acting for local and foreign fintech clients; and banking and project finance lawyers María Shakespear and Pablo Torretta, who are involved in transactional and contentious matters based on financial and banking regulations.
