Technology is constantly changing the way we participate in everyday business. ‘Distributed Ledger Technology’, including the prolific ‘Blockchain’ as well as cryptocurrency and smart contracts, are the latest buzzwords in business. With a promise of making dramatic changes to how we work it is important to understand how the tech operates, where the impacts are being felt and importantly where the law stands on it.
Senior Associate Laura Spencer and Graduate Lawyer Henri Sheridan from our Business Law team have presented on this area at a number of forums including the 2019 Cyber Conference, ISACA Melbourne Chapter and AISA Melbourne Chapter. Their informative presentation is aimed at those wanting a deeper understanding of the disruption caused by blockchain. Audiences of the presentation walk away with an appreciation of the current and future impact of this technology on business, structuring and success planning as well as the practical and legal roadblocks preventing a wider application of this technology.
