Crypto & blockchain report published by Law Society

The impact of blockchain on the legal landscape is explored in a revised issue of the Law Society’s report, ‘Blockchain: legal and regulatory guidance’, now in its third edition.

The report, produced in collaboration with the Society for Computers and Law and the Tech London Advocates blockchain legal and regulatory group, was published last week.

It looks at the uses of distributed ledger technology—the tech behind blockchain and cryptoassets—including how it works, public and private blockchains, and types of cryptoassets and tokens. It also covers how the technology is changing how legal services are delivered and implications for litigation.
