McGuireWoods reinforced its reputation as a go-to adviser to leading financial technology companies and financial institutions by again earning nationwide practice rankings in Chambers and Partners’ 2026 Fintech Guide.
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 praised the firm’s legal acumen and industry knowledge in interviews with Chambers researchers.
“I really trust the McGuireWoods team to help think through complicated financial services litigation, regulatory, and policy matters,” a client said.
Another client added: “McGuireWoods attorneys’ first-hand regulatory perspective translates into practical, business-oriented advice rather than theoretical legal analysis.”
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.
“Our team is dedicated to helping clients navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and seize new opportunities in financial technology,” said Aaron Marienthal, co-leader of the firm’s fintech practice. “This recognition reflects our commitment to delivering business-focused, forward-thinking solutions for clients.”
