With law firms scrambling to build links with the much-hyped fintech sector, Simmons & Simmons has put its money where its mouth is with the launch of a £100,000 ‘fund’ offering free legal advice to promising start-ups.
The S&S FinTech Fund is touted as the first of its kind in the legal industry, with Simmons hoping that offering free legal advice to promising start-ups will lead to strong relationships with fast-growing clients.
