Blockchain technology has come a long way since the early days of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. From the rise of NFTs and their impact on copyright issues to employees’ growing interest in receiving compensation in cryptocurrency, the legal implications of blockchain today are far-reaching.
It’s fair to say that all attorneys will likely encounter blockchain in their work, if they haven’t already, and can benefit from understanding the legal landscape around this popular technology. At a half-day PLI program, Blockchain 2.0: 2022 Legal & Regulatory Developments, an expert panel will provide an in-depth discussion of some of the hottest issues in this area.

The panel will also explore taxation issues regarding blockchain, as well as the implications of blockchain technology in other markets, and how it impacts other legal issues, including privacy, jurisdiction and antitrust.
