Baker & McKenzie announced today that it has become a Supporting Organization of the SuperCharger Accelerator, Hong Kong’s first FinTech program that aims to help both local and international early-stage and more established FinTech companies capture the Asian growth market.
The program leverages on Hong Kong's traditional strength as Asia’s finance and technology gateway. The SuperCharger Accelerator will allow Baker & McKenzie to continue the Firm’s strong track record of supporting financial institutions, information technology, communications and other clients in the region at the intersection of finance and technology.
Andrew Lockhart, Co-Head of the Finance Practice Group and the Financial Services Industry Group in Hong Kong/China, commented: “Baker & McKenzie is proud to support and partner with the SuperCharger Accelerator program and we look forward to sharing knowledge as well as exploring collaboration with its participants. With our strong on-the-ground Financial Services and sector capabilities, we are uniquely positioned to help both local and international FinTech companies navigate the legal and regulatory landscape.”
Baker & McKenzie sector specialists Karen Man and Frank Meier (financial services regulatory) and Paolo Sbuttoni (technology, communications & data privacy) will join Andrew to mentor and share knowledge with the Accelerator’s participants throughout the program.
