Peter leads Gilbert + Tobin’s Fintech practice. G+T’s Fintech practice supports businesses that are participating in, innovating or disrupting the way in which payments, markets and platforms, and infrastructure are delivered, accessed and consumed. Our clients include both new and incumbent organisations focused on services that are more efficient and responsive to consumer needs and regulatory requirements. We have advised some of the most successful and ground-breaking fintech businesses operating in Australia and globally. Our experience is across the sector and includes financial institutions, neobanks, fund and asset managers, payments and digital wallet providers, platforms, product distributors, marketplace lending, fractionalised and tokenised assets, digital currencies and exchanges. Our experience traverses the lifespan of business - from workshopping very early stage concepts to build scalable and marketable solutions, to advising founder-held and start-up businesses through the process of obtaining VC or PE money, to working with established businesses looking to pivot or deliver product enhancements and new service offerings.
