Innovation with purpose.
Responsibility by design.
Financial products and partnerships considered from first assessment through expansion.
Fintech brings financial responsibility into a technology business. Adad advises on the Qatar legal aspects of developing, partnering with and investing in financial technology businesses, examining how the product works and how obligations are divided between its participants.
We follow the movement of funds, the customer relationship, outsourced functions and the use of information. This informs the regulatory assessment, licensing-related submissions, bank partnerships, platform and merchant agreements, customer terms and funding documents.
As the business expands, the legal model needs to remain aligned with its products, partners and customers. We advise on governance, investor rights, technology dependencies and proposed changes, assessing digital-asset activities under the particular framework and permissions relevant to them.
THE COMMERCIAL CONTEXT
Before launch
Establish the service, participants and regulatory questions before commitments are made to customers and partners.
At investment
Connect the funding terms with ownership of technology, key agreements, permissions and governance.
Through expansion
Review the allocation of responsibility when products, providers, customers or the geographic reach change.
