CMS renews with AEFI to Drive FinTech and InsurTech Innovation

Global law firm CMS Albiñana & Suárez de Lezo has renewed its collaboration agreement with the Spanish Association of FinTech and InsurTech (AEFI) to foster the development of projects and activities within the financial and insurance technology sectors. The partnership aims to support key industry players in promoting innovation and growth across the ecosystem.

According to Alejandro González Álvarez and Ricardo Plasencia, partners in CMS’s Banking & Finance practice, this renewed collaboration is vital for providing added value to AEFI members as they navigate the significant regulatory challenges on the horizon. Among these are DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), and the new Consumer Credit Directive.

This partnership reinforces CMS’s commitment to supporting the FinTech and InsurTech sectors in Spain by addressing the evolving regulatory landscape and offering strategic legal guidance. Through its collaboration with AEFI, CMS continues to position itself as a key ally for businesses seeking to innovate while maintaining compliance with upcoming legislative changes.

As the financial technology sector undergoes rapid transformation, initiatives like this are crucial in ensuring that companies remain competitive while contributing to the broader development of Spain’s FinTech and InsurTech ecosystem.
