The EEA Legal Advisory Working Group (LAWG), led by EEA Chief Legal Counsel and Corporate Secretary Oksana Davis and LAWG Chair Aaron Wright, held a face-to-face meeting at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP on April 18 to discuss the current state of the blockchain ecosystem in the legal industry. Topics included the use and limitations of smart contracts; the “tokenization” of financial assets and associated regulatory issues; and the intersection of blockchain and law, focusing specifically on topics such as copyright, compulsory licensing, and IP provenance. Thanks to our panel members and attendees for participating in the discussions.
