Our FIG team advises a wide range of stock exchanges, trading platforms and other service providers to the financial services industry throughout the world.

Our recent work reflects a number of trends:

  • the proliferation of trading platforms, such as advising on the creation and structuring of the LiquidityHub platform;
  • consolidation attempts among the larger exchanges, including through mergers and joint ventures into new business areas across borders, including advising all the bids for the London Stock Exchange and its successful merger with Borsa Italiana;
  • increasing regulatory scrutiny into the operation of exchanges around Europe; and
  • outsourcing of many different functions within financial institutions including payroll, IT infrastructure, bank note printing and credit card operations.
