Financial services regulations are a mainstay of the banking and finance practice at FAS Advogados, in cooperation with CMS, which routinely advises well-established players and new market entrants on the structuring of new financial and payment products and application for licenses with the regulator. Virtual assets services providers such as cryptoexchanges and marketplaces also feature on the firm's client base, which routinely engages it in mandates involving banking, foreign exchange, derivatives, securities and payments regulations. Matters concerning credit fintechs and new open finance business models are key areas of growth for the team, which is under the joint leadership of Paulo Mertz Focaccia, a fintech specialist, and Vicente Piccoli Medeiros Braga, a financial and banking regulatory expert.
