"‘Santo Manna has excellent experience in fintech work, having been in-house at a number of leading vendors, he understands the industry from the inside out." (Legal 500 - June 2022) I’m a technology lawyer focused on Fintech and payments - my clients are on the leading edge of this fantastic space. Over a 25-year career, I have negotiated complex technology transactions worldwide, with Fortune 500 banks and corporates, investment managers and technology providers. I get deals done for my clients at maximum value, leveraging my blend of in-house and private practice experience, and global and multicultural mindset and background. A proud Montrealer and Canadian, who has called NYC home for 20 years, I am growing a thriving cross-border practice serving the needs of clients in both countries. I’m admitted to practice in NY and Ontario. During my time at McGill University, I earned degrees in Engineering and Law and forged bonds that continue to this day. McGill has made me what I am and I will always look for opportunities to give back - I support initiatives like McCallMacBainScholars.org to help open doors to similar life-changing experiences for others. My mission is to help my clients grow and succeed, guided by the following PRINCIPLES: Advocacy with Empathy & Integrity – I believe empathy for my client, and its customers, partners, and people, is essential for it to succeed and build lasting business relationships. I firmly advocate for my client and its best interests, but always ethically and with integrity. Deal-Oriented Approach – I have a pragmatic “get deals done” mindset, seeking to achieve the right risk/reward balance and create win-win outcomes. I accelerate contract negotiations, avoiding friction, and give equal attention to commercial issues as to legal, as that is what my clients expect. Attention to Detail – My Fintech clients must move fast without sacrificing quality, and they expect the same from me – I deliver assignments rapidly but with meticulous attention to detail. In-House Mindset – I seek a deep understanding of my client's business, the same level as if I was its General Counsel, essential in the fast-paced and complex world of Fintech. * * * * I believe in equality and condemn racism in all its forms. Silence is not an option when it comes to combatting racism. Empathy for others is the guiding force in work and life. #racism #justice #equality #humanrights #civilrights “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King Jr.

I share ideas on how to live a good life, make better decisions, and achieve satisfaction. I draw upon my two decades as an S&P 500 General Counsel, as well as my earlier studies in psychology, law, and business. My perspectives have been broadened and rounded by running a global sustainability program and teaching law students.
