Peter Oakes, Founder of Fintech UK, was recognised as a Band 1 Consultants for both 2021 and 2020 in the inaugural edition of Chambers & Partners’ Professional Advisers guide for FinTech. After 2021 Chambers stopped including non-law firms into its rankings. Accordingly, Peter's business was no longer ranked by Chambers & Partners. While that is rather anti-competitive and favours law firms over other types of advisers, those who have worked with Peter know of his high-quality work. Indeed he sought after to be a non-executive director of regulated fintechs operating in the emoney, MiFID and banking sectors).
Why Fintech UK?: Given Peter's experience of advising on the authorisation of UK Fintechs and the desire to create a site to showcase UK Fintech, we established Fintech UK. Given Peter's involvement with, and knowledge of, the Irish Fintech scene we are very happy to help these fintech set up & scale in the UK - like a landing pad for our friends through Fintech Ireland & of course for Fintech UK firms heading to Ireland or another EU Member State .
