Martínez de Hoz & Rueda's knowledge of banking, software licensing, data protection, cloud computing and IT law makes it the trusted partner of financial institutions and fintech companies, including Western Union and Prex. The practice offers guidance on local regulatory compliance and makes complex Central Bank and AML regulations ‘as comprehensive as possible’, according to one client. The department is co-led by Martín Lepiane, who is skilled in TMT and privacy-related issues, and Marcos Blanco, who advises on fintech regulation and implementation. Since publication, the practice has been strengthened with the arrival of Ignacio Meggiolaro and specialist associate Gonzalo Pacheco who arrived in February 2026 as part of the firm's absorption of the former MBP Partners - Abogados.
