Block chain – it is not cryptocurrency, it is not a technical exercise in coding, it is an information control and delivery tool and one being increasingly used for a wide variety of commercial applications. A commercial/ business lawyer needs to know what applications are being developed, where they fit in commercial practice, how you as a lawyer might be able to suggest block chain solutions, understand the legal ramifications and more. To practice in the new information based legal environment in many areas of corporate commercial law there are basics that every lawyer should know to be ready for the new ways that commercial transaction will be changed to use the security, speed, transparency and flexibility of block chain based information control. This webinar will give the commercial lawyer the tools they need to understand the uses, applications, legal issues and solutions of block chain technology. NOT a course on crypto – not an obscure techie matter – not tokens, coins and offerings - block chain based commercial applications are here and more are coming – the business lawyer needs to be ready to support their clients in the use of these business tools.
