The leader of Norton Rose Fulbright’s U.S. fintech practice this week relocated to Steptoe, the latest in a string of exits by leaders from the global verein. On his new platform, partner Stephen Aschettino said he seeks to capture the growing wave of demand from global financial servicers for regulatory help in developing digital payment solutions.

Aschettino’s move to Steptoe comes after Norton Rose Fulbright saw a series of departures from its C-level leadership team in the wake of the sudden departure of global CEO Gerry Pecht in September.
