Eleonora Pavliouk

I am a senior associate in the Finance & Financial Regulation Group in Stockholm. My passion lies in fintech, innovation, financial regulation, data protection and AI, as well as combining my knowledge in these areas to provide high quality cross-sector advice to our clients.

I have extensive legal and regulatory experience, having worked at the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, other law firms specialising in financial regulation, and being an in-house lawyer, compliance officer, MLRO, and DPO at a payment institution and a crypto company. The experience gained through my in-house roles have given me the tools to understand our clients' needs on a deeper level and therefore place great emphasis on delivering tailored advice that adds value to the client's business.

On the financial regulation side, I advise on payment services, electronic money, crypto, UCITs and alternative investments funds, AML/CTF, consumer credit, banking regulation. I also advise on licensing requirements and handle applications within the aforementioned areas and act as a point of contact towards regulatory authorities. On the tech side, I have substantial expertise in drafting and negotiating IT contracts, Data Processing Agreements, outsourcing agreements, licensing terms and integrity notices.

As a current Board member of the Swedish FinTech Association, a non-profit organisation for fintech companies, I am passionate about the fintech industry and constantly strive to make way for small and big changes within the financial industry.
