Nader, Hayaux & Goebel has a strong reputation as one of the leading firms in Mexico that attracts a consistent stream of major, complex, multi-jurisdictional and sophisticated Fintech mandates.

The firm stands out in the market for the diversity of its client roster and for the pioneering and innovative quality of its Fintech matters, which represent the evolution of banking and finance.

This is due to its market-leading ability to advise upon regulatory implications, cross-border transactions, payments systems and cryptocurrency issues, all of which require a high level of lawyering and a pioneering attitude in often uncertain and developing regulatory terrain.

“[…]a first-rate Fintech practice with a diverse client base, encompassing international heavyweights and pioneering startups such as neo-banks, payment platforms and crypto-trading solutions”.
