Entities in the financial market, and the transactions they finance, play a fundamental role in the functioning of the entire economy. In this context—regardless of whether it is a financial institution, a FinTech entity, a borrower, an issuer, or a sponsor—it is vitally important to guide the client through the financing transaction in a manner enabling the client to achieve the best position in the financing, taking into account both the legal requirements and market practice. At the same time, the legal and regulatory framework for the operation of financial institutions is increasingly complex and demanding, and the consequences of failure by financial institutions to comply with the requirements imposed on them can be severe.

The Banking and Financial Institutions practice includes both the transactional practice, supporting clients in such areas as bilateral and consortium structured financing, including financing of acquisitions, projects, real estate, and renewable energy, current corporate financing within various groups of products (from investment grade to cash pooling, intraday, factoring and confirming solutions), export financing, margin loans and bid financing, derivative instruments, and early restructuring, as well as regulatory advice for entities from all sectors of the financial market (banks, investment funds, investment companies).

The practice also includes comprehensive advisory for financial institutions operating in the sector of new technologies, as well as entities in the FinTech sector. This applies to both regulatory advice, including advice on obtaining licences to operate as payment institutions or electronic money institutions, and project advice concerning cooperation between banks and FinTech entities and implementation of new services (including in the Banking-as-a-Service model).
