Blockchain for Lawyers

10.5 Hour CLE Credit Course

The legal industry is undergoing profound changes, as the digital revolution takes its course. New technologies and innovative business models challenge the established position legal professionals have retained for centuries as sophisticated, high-earning advisors to every significant business transaction. With the advent of smart contract technology, business transactions of all kinds will experience a significant evolutionary step towards automation.

We give legal professionals the tools necessary to be part of a digital future. The workshop teaches the basics of blockchain and smart contract technology. Hands-on examples and live coding sessions will demystify the phenomenon “blockchain” and introduce simple but effective strategies to make use of smart contracts today. To combine both legal and smart agreements in one cohesive process will be another focus of the workshop. The techniques taught allow legal professionals to combine their unique domain knowledge with real-world smart contract agreements, offering their clients the best of both worlds.

Prerequisites: No blockchain knowledge required.
