As the global economy has embraced new technologies in financial services, so too has Mintz.

We advise innovators, investors, startups, and financial institutions on a wide range of industry- advancing transactional, litigation, corporate, securities, intellectual property, and regulatory matters.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I find them to be great negotiators. I appreciate that when they see something, even if we aren't engaged in the issues, if they see something applicable in the market to our company, they reach out and keep us in the loop. It's a very good partnership.
