Legal Industry’s Role in the Future of Blockchain

The EEA Legal Advisory Working Group (LAWG), led by EEA Chief Legal Counsel and Corporate Secretary Oksana Davis and LAWG Chair Aaron Wright, held a face-to-face meeting at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP on April 18 to discuss the current state of the blockchain ecosystem in the legal industry.
