Leading international law firm Herbert Smith Freehills has advised international banking group Standard Chartered in relation to its investment into United Fintech Group Limited.

United Fintech is an industry-neutral Digital Transformation Platform where global financial institutions and cutting-edge technology providers come together to unleash their full potential and enable the future of finance. Standard Chartered’s investment follows on from Citi, BNP Paribas and Danske Bank who invested earlier this year.

The Herbert Smith Freehills team was led by partners and co-heads of Venture and Growth Capital, Michael Jacobs and Dylan Doran Kennett, and supported by senior associate Nikesh Arya, associate Stephanie Notice and solicitor Eren Ozenir.

Partner Michael Jacobs commented: “We are delighted to have advised Standard Chartered on another investment into a leading fintech, a transaction which highlights our expertise in UK venture capital and growth in the very active fintech space. We extend our best wishes to United Fintech for the successful deployment of the new capital and continued business growth.”
