FINTECH LAW FIRM & LEGAL SERVICES
Our Fintech Practice Areas
At TITUS, we provide expert fintech legal services to businesses navigating the fast-evolving financial technology landscape. As a leading fintech law firm, we specialise in blockchain, cryptocurrency, regulatory compliance, and licensing matters. Our fintech lawyers offer strategic guidance to ensure compliance with Hong Kong’s financial regulations while supporting innovative fintech solutions.
Driven by a passion for innovation and new technology, our law firm has acquired in-depth knowledge, practical know-how, and hands-on experience in the area of financial technology, particularly blockchain and cryptocurrency.
We regularly advise clients on Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), Security Token Offerings (STO) and Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO). Whilst presenting a seemingly more efficient method of fundraising than the traditional Initial Public Offerings (IPO), these new fundraising mechanisms also come with an unprecedented level of risk that deserves expert attention. Our experienced fintech attorneys are well-versed in these related risks, and we offer comprehensive fintech legal services and support to guide our clients through these landmines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the regulatory framework for fintech businesses in Hong Kong?
There is currently no regulatory framework tailored for financial technology firms, but they do have to adhere to Hong Kong’s established financial laws and regulations. For more information about fintech and relevant legal matters, feel free to contact our expert lawyers, who can provide you with customised legal services and support.
Does Hong Kong have specific regulations on cryptocurrencies?
With financial technology firms being a relatively new phenomenon in Hong Kong, there are currently no specific regulations for cryptocurrencies. However, the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau have recommended introducing a licensing regime for cryptocurrency providers. Our fintech legal support helps businesses navigate these evolving regulations.
What does the future hold for financial technology firms in Hong Kong?
Fintech has a big and bright future in Hong Kong as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) unveiled the Fintech 2025 strategy in June 2021. Its basic premise is to ensure that fintech is more widely accepted and promoted by 2025. With fintech expected to grow in Hong Kong, legal services and support provided by fintech law firms like TITUS will become a much-needed and more commonly used commodity.
