McGuireWoods once again earned nationwide practice rankings in Chambers and Partners’ 2025 Fintech Guide, affirming its stature as a go-to adviser to leading financial technology companies and financial institutions.
Chambers ranked McGuireWoods in the Fintech Legal and Fintech Legal: Payments & Lending categories. The firm won praise for handling product counseling, data privacy, and regulatory compliance and litigation matters, as well as for assisting established payments platforms with licensing issues.
Clients spoke highly of the firm’s skills in comments to Chambers researchers.
“Their bench of lawyers, including former regulators and Supreme Court clerks, is incredibly impressive,” one client said.
Another client added: “The McGuireWoods team are exceptionally sharp. They have taken the time to really learn the nuances of our business in a way that enables them to provide exceptional service.”
Partner Molly White, who co-leads McGuireWoods’ fintech team, said the Chambers rankings reflect the firm’s ability to provide the knowledgeable, top-notch service fintech clients need.
“We are proud that Chambers repeatedly recognizes McGuireWoods for excellence in serving clients in the ever-evolving fintech industry, whether that service is corporate advice, regulatory advice or litigation,” White said.
McGuireWoods’ nationally recognized fintech practice has lawyers in offices across the country, including in the most active fintech hubs. With a keen understanding of emerging technologies and deep experience serving the financial sector, the firm helps clients handle shifting legal, commercial and technical challenges.
The firm bolstered its fintech capabilities in 2024 with the return of San Francisco partner Aaron Marienthal, who rejoined the firm after serving as senior vice president and general counsel at Payactiv Inc., a financial technology platform that provides workers with on-demand access to earned wages.
