Use Case

How companies transform legal work with EQWAL

Fractional General Counsel support for a growing fintech company

Industry: Financial services / banks & capital markets
Competencies: Corporate, data protection, regulation
A fast-growing fintech company required experienced legal leadership to structure regulatory processes and ensure legally compliant international expansion. However, a permanent in-house position was not economically viable at the time.
EQWAL provided a Fractional General Counsel with extensive experience in financial regulatory law and data privacy. The Fractional GC took on strategic legal advisory responsibilities, coordinated external law firms, and implemented scalable contract and compliance structures. This positioned the company optimally for expansion and upcoming financing rounds.
