The Rationale for the Programme

The rationale for establishing FinTech Legal Labs is as a result of the direct demand of FinTech companies at various stages of development. It has become clear to such companies that proper legal support is critical for their development and success. We have built an intense short time frame accelerator programme designed to:

cover the key areas of law relevant to FinTech businesses; and
provide FinTech businesses with access to leading financial institutions, investors and potential JV partners.

The programme is designed to accelerate your FinTech business with legal support and access to investors and leading institutions.
