But what does the adoption of blockchain really mean to legal departments and is it as complex as it seems? In the second of our annual blockchain-dedicated events, our expert panels will de-mystify blockchain technology and explore its practical implications to legal departments across a diverse range of industries with a focus on real-life case studies, while highlighting the risks, obligations, benefits and challenges associated with its implementation. In addition, the Symposium will examine the regulatory aspects of blockchain, with panels deliberating on how different jurisdictions are approaching the development and deployment of distributed ledger technologies. CASE STUDY QUESTIONS UNDER DEBATE: • What changes to legal departments will blockchain technology bring? • What are the pros and cons of blockchain compared to traditional in-house legal procedures? • Is distributed ledger technology secure and compliant with all regulations? • What cost savings can blockchain technologies bring?
