CHANGE IS HERE.  YOU NEED TO GET PREPARED

The rapid growth and implementation of blockchain technologies has already begun to disrupt and revolutionize the financial system and other industries. Change can present challenges and it can also provide opportunities. The key to unlocking opportunities lies in determining how the legal system can best foster the development of this new business sector by truly understanding the nature of blockchain transactions, the implications of differences in business models, and an appropriate approach to address the numerous legal issues arising from this paradigm shift.

As with many new technology services offerings, there are vital risk-based issues that need to be carefully considered before businesses, particularly heavily-regulated ones, can start to fully realize the full potential of distributed ledger technologies.

Designed for lawyers and executives without a technical background, over the course of this comprehensive, focused and practical program, you will explore the potential of the blockchain industry, as well as the effect of the technology on other industries, to enhance your understanding of blockchain and to arm you with the knowledge and insights you need to incorporate blockchain into your practice and/or business strategy.

You will Learn

In two intensive modules, this one-of-a-kind, focused and practical program has been developed with a sophisticated audience in mind and is presented by a faculty comprised of legal thought leaders to address key elements, including:

  • Understanding blockchains and distributed ledger ecosystems
  • Cryptocurrencies, initial coin offerings and characterizing blockchain tokens
  • Smart contracts and decentralized applications
  • Competently advising through blockchain innovation
  • Analyzing the nature of blockchain transactions and differences in business models
  • Transforming enterprise business models

Participants can also navigate the more complex legal issues surrounding blockchain, such as blockchain litigation, the challenges of collecting blockchain evidence and seizing cryptocurrency, and trends in blockchain litigation.  The curriculum will also explore issues of money laundering, terrorist financing, and how economic sanctions affect blockchain.

How blockchain can be used as a method of equity financing will also be explored—a hot topic in an industry still in flux. It’s one that both the tech and legal industries are watching closely. Evan Thomas, part of the team representing 3iQ and The Bitcoin Fund is on faculty.  3iQ is the recent high-profile decision in which the Ontario Securities Commission just allowed 3iQ, a Canadian investment manager to offer the world’s first publicly traded bitcoin investment fund. The decision distinguishes decisions by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which refused to approve the listing of bitcoin exchange traded funds.

“Very good overall. Broad & deep on blockchain and crypto. Regulation is coming.”

Paul Chipperton, Director, Angel Investors Ontario, and CEO & President, Mperia Therapeutics Inc.

Participants can also engage with both crypto and legal innovation leaders, who are part of the program and often pioneering regulation in the industry. Faculty include Michael Casey, Chief Content Officer at CoinDesk ; Toufi Saliba, CEO Toda.Network former Chair ACM PB CC, Co-authored TODA/IP decentralized p2p internet protocol; Charlene Cieslik, chief anti-money laundering officer and chief privacy officer of Coinsquare, one of Canada’s most high-profile crypto exchanges; Greg Wolfond, founder of SecureKey, which is currently working with Canada’s big five banks to create digital verification based on blockchain; Addison Cameron-Huff, Ethereum’s first lawyer co-founder of Toronto Blockchain Week, and Ethan Buchman, Technical Director, Interchain Foundation, and Chief, CoinCulture Cryptoconsulting, and many others (View 2019-2020 Faculty and Program Advisors).
