Financial services businesses deal with highly sensitive information and a breach of any size can lead to major loss. BLG’s privacy and data protection team is globally recognized and was awarded a national top-tier ranking by Chambers in 2022. We can assist you on consumer protection compliance requirements, evolving open banking considerations, usage of personal data, risk management, incident response plans and crisis management.

Privacy and data protection

Whether you are looking to develop new financial services and product programs, execute M&A transactions, or enter into a partnership or joint venture transaction, we can help make your deal a reality. We can also help you structure B2B and B2C contracts, license and outsource technology, and negotiate agreements with financial service providers and financial institutions.

Corporate commercial and M&A

We cover all sides of the transaction and frequently act as counsel to investors, funds, entrepreneurs, and financial service providers in relation to coin or token offerings, digital asset-focused fund formation, equity and debt financing, and initial public offerings. We have the full picture to evaluate and advise at any step.

Financing and capital markets

We are frequently consulted on legal and regulatory questions and challenges that financial services providers face, including Canada’s largest banks, financial institutions, payment networks, acquirers, issuers, FinTechs, other alternative financial services providers, governmental bodies, authorities and regulators, as well as global businesses with Canadian activities.
