The impact and growth of fintech across nearly every segment of the banking world have catapulted legal teams into unchartered water. Combined with European regulations such as PSD2 and GDPR, keeping up with state and federal regulations in the US, and the ever-changing world of crypto, the dichotomy between innovation and regulation keeps legal teams on their toes.
