Nimble counsel for growth

Our Product Counsel team advises on the entire product life cycle, including design, launch and ongoing refinement of fintech products and services. We have extensive in-house experience building consumer, investor, and business products for clients across a range of industries, and we regularly counsel loan and buy-now-pay-later originators, loan brokers, earned wage access providers, money transmitters, marketplace platforms, mortgage lenders, home-sharing and co-living platforms, and real estate brokers.

We regularly:

  • counsel on product development, including initial product structuring or changing features over time; 
  • draft document sets, such as loan agreements, real estate option contracts, and program agreements; 
  • develop licensing and regulatory strategies for novel financial products; and
  • advise on regulatory compliance across the entire customer journey.

Every member of our team has worked as in-house counsel at a fintech or bank.

We deliver actionable advice to our clients based on their appropriate risk tolerance and business goals. Scale is a tech-forward, remote-first law firm, which gives our attorneys the ability to tailor services to client needs at every stage of growth.
