FIELDFISHER has boosted its alternative finance and fintech expertise with the hire of new partner Stephen Moller (pictured), who joins the law firm from K&L Gates.

Moller specialises in structured finance – including receivables financing, supply chain finance and securitisation – and has an established practice in the alternative finance market, working with technology platforms to originate and acquire financial assets.

Fieldfisher, which is headquartered in London but has offices across the world, said that fintech is a “developing practice” for the firm. Moller’s appointment follows the recent hire of Marsili Hale as director, who also has a focus on the fintech sector.

The law firm also boosted its structured finance team recently, by appointing Dougall Molson from Freshfields and Richard Todd from Mayer Brown.

“Stephen’s experience – particularly his expertise in alternative finance – adds yet more depth and diversity to our offering.

“Finance and financial services are a strategic growth area for the firm. Our significant investment in recent key hires not only reflects our dedication to the sector but also the growing client demands for our services in this area.”
