Piper Alderman is well reputed for its expertise and experience advising on licensing and compliance in the fintech, regtech and digital currency spaces so this is a fabulous opportunity to come and join some of the best as you develop your skills as a legal practitioner in the space.

You will be welcome to show your techy side in this team with a focus on the electronic delivery of financial services and the legal issues associated with using new and emerging technologies.

This role will see you supervised by two of the best in the industry, but you will equally be afforded a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
