LawTech Delivery Panel

We are assisting UK Jurisdiction Taskforce in clarifying legal status of cryptoassets and smart contracts. The UK Jurisdiction Taskforce (UKJT), one of the six taskforces of the LawTech Delivery Panel, an industry-led group that is tasked with supporting the digital transformation of the UK legal services sector, has published a legal statement o the status of cryptoassets and smart contracts under English and Welsh law.

We played a key role in the project, leading the drafting of the consultation paper published in May 2019 and running a public event in June 2019 which sought input from the market participants on the principal issues of perceived legal uncertainty relating to these new technologies, as well as providing input on the legal statement itself.
