Smart Contracts, it turns out, are neither smart nor contracts! But they are playing an increasingly significant role in the public sector in the UAE and beyond. If you’re a lawyer working in this field, understanding smart contracts is an increasingly critical knowledge base.

Join Medha Parlikar, CasperLabs CTO and co-founder, and Irina Heaver, a fintech and crypto lawyer, for a live, in-person workshop that will highlight the growing number of smart contract use cases being used in practice.

A lawyer’s ability to know how a smart contract works, including key legal and technical questions to ask at the outset of a deployment, will make the difference between drastically improved processes, or a regulatory nightmare.
