1. Financial Services Regulation and Compliance
Navigating shifting regulations is one of the most pressing challenges facing financial institutions today. From anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements to the Volcker Rule and Dodd-Frank Act compliance, financial services providers must align with evolving domestic and international standards. SJKP LLP delivers integrated Bank Law advice across jurisdictions, helping clients maintain compliance while pursuing innovation and digital transformation.
Financial Services and Cross-Border Licensing
Cross-border licensing remains a critical component of operating in global markets under modern Bank Laws. We guide banks, fintechs, asset managers, and investment platforms through U.S. federal and state-level licensing regimes, as well as EU directives such as MiFID II and PSD2. Our banking regulation lawyers ensure clients meet licensing obligations while maintaining flexibility for growth.
2. Financial Services Litigation and Risk Management
Financial institutions are increasingly targeted in complex litigation involving cybersecurity breaches, misrepresentation in financial products, and ESG-related disclosures. Our Bank Laws team helps clients proactively manage these risks, defending them in high-stakes litigation, class actions, and regulatory investigations.
Financial Services and ESG Litigation Trends
The legal exposure surrounding ESG commitments in banking and financial services is growing. Institutions must now demonstrate tangible compliance with climate reporting, board diversity mandates, and anti-greenwashing measures. By integrating ESG into governance frameworks, SJKP LLP helps clients reduce litigation risk and protect brand reputation.
3. Financial Services Technology and Fintech Integration
Innovation is reshaping the financial landscape, and Bank Laws must adapt to keep pace. Our attorneys advise clients on regulatory treatment of blockchain applications, crypto assets, AI-based financial tools, and digital banking services. We provide fintech legal strategies that allow clients to build compliant, scalable business models.
Financial Services Data and Cybersecurity Advisory
Cybersecurity breaches and data loss can lead to substantial legal and financial liabilities for banks and fintechs. We assist financial institutions in implementing proactive governance, risk management, and incident response plans in accordance with U.S. laws such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and NYDFS cybersecurity regulation. Our banking law expertise ensures compliance while reducing exposure to regulatory penalties.
4. Financial Services and Sustainable Finance
Sustainable finance is no longer optional in today’s regulatory environment. We advise on sustainable bonds, green loans, and ESG-driven fund structuring, assisting financial players in aligning profitability with sustainability. Under Bank Laws and financial regulation, we help ensure that ESG disclosures comply with emerging SEC climate-related reporting proposals and EU Taxonomy regulations.
Financial Services ESG Governance and Reporting
From developing ESG policies to preparing for investor scrutiny and regulatory filing, our banking law attorneys help financial clients build strong internal governance systems and reliable ESG reporting structures. We also assist with aligning disclosures to international frameworks such as TCFD and ISSB standards.
5. Financial Services Thought Leadership and Policy Trends
SJKP LLP continually monitors global macroeconomic shifts and policy developments impacting the financial services sector, including U.S. monetary policy, Basel IV implementation, and digital dollar initiatives. Our Bank Laws insights help clients anticipate market disruption and regulatory change with confidence.
Financial Services and Venture Capital Environment
We guide clients through early-stage financing, fintech regulation, and venture capital positioning. Our team supports venture capital investors and fintech startups in structuring deals that are compliant, investor-aligned, and consistent with Bank Laws and securities regulation.
