Cryptocurrency And Its Role In The
Legal Industry

An in-depth discussion of the digital asset and blockchain companies.

The digital asset space is new to us all, so new that many of us don’t really understand what a “digital asset” is.

As this sector continues to evolve and transform, it will be vital for law firm management to understand cryptocurrency and what its impact will be on the legal industry. 

This session will explain what cryptocurrency is and how it works.

Law firm administrators, as well as those in finance roles, will benefit from attending this session.

By the end of the session, you will be more familiar with:

• What is Cryptocurrency & Blockchain and why does it matter?
• What are ICO’s, STO’s, IEO’s?
• How Blockchain and digital assets will affect the legal industry and perhaps your firm
