Protecting your business at the intersection of Data, Tech & Law
Dedicated guidance for those who demand speed, clarity, and uncompromising quality.
Market data is the lifeblood of modern finance. For fintechs and financial institutions, access to timely, reliable market data drives pricing engines, risk models, execution algorithms and client-facing products. Yet the commercial and legal framework that governs that data is complex, rapidly evolving and increasingly consequential.
Andrea interprets complex data policies, licensing agreements, and audit risks—keeping your business protected, compliant, and positioned for growth.

How can I help?
Practical licensing architecture: Draft and negotiate licences that reflect how your systems actually consume and redistribute data — from direct feeds and API pulls to derived data, hosted analytics and white‑label products.
Commercial structuring & data policy: Translate fee models that balance predictable costs with usage sensitivity — per‑seat, per‑feed, per‑API‑call, tiered throughput, value‑based pricing and hybrid models — into effective data policy.
IP and derivative data: Define ownership and control of derived datasets and models, ensuring you can monetise analytics without infringing source providers’ rights or breaching redistribution limits.
Data redistribution and sublicensing: Secure clear rights for downstream use by clients, partners and platforms, with precise carve‑outs for market data vendors’ special terms and third‑party content.
Compliance, audits and vendor controls: Build robust audit clauses that limit disruption and liability, or establish procedures for vendor inspections and ensure contractual protections for breaches or vendor licence termination.
M&A and financing support: Rapidly assess data‑licence transferability, continuity risks and change‑of-control provisions during transactions or capital raises.
A market-data licensing lawyer must combine a legal knowledge with an ability to translate technical systems and commercial needs into pragmatic, risk-aware agreements.
Grounded in rigorous legal training and experienced with the market data ecosystem, Andrea delivers tailored licensing strategies that honor both immediate operational needs with long-term business objectives.
