About the Event
The legal industry is facing increasingly challenges brought by the fast-moving world of decentralised systems. At the intersection of law and code lies the “smart legal contract”: a self-executing agreement with the potential to reshape how legal obligations are created, monitored and enforced.
In this session, we explore:
✅ How blockchain technology provides unique solutions for trust, transparency, and efficiency in transactions.
✅ The basics of smart legal contracts – what are they, how do they work, where do they excel, and what are their limitations in practice.
✅ Practical examples demonstrating the benefits and challenges of implementing blockchain-based contracts.
