Today, Nima counsels fintech and technology companies throughout their lifecycle. His work includes payment and money-transmission matters, open-banking compliance, product development, commercial agreements, corporate governance, venture financings, and acquisitions. He also helps clients design bespoke cross-border structures where regulatory, tax, corporate, and operational considerations must work together across multiple jurisdictions.

Nima is particularly drawn to matters that do not come with an established playbook. Working collaboratively with founders, he gets into the details of how a product operates, where value and risk move through the business, and what the company is ultimately trying to achieve. He then pressure-tests assumptions and develops a tailored legal roadmap that is both legally sound and commercially workable—not simply a recitation of what the law says. Whether launching a new financial product, structuring a novel commercial arrangement, or navigating a regulatory question without a settled answer, Nima helps clients identify risk, evaluate tradeoffs, and make thoughtful decisions they can confidently build on.
