Emerging Cyber Technologies
Capabilities

The Metaverse. Web 3.0. Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. What these concepts have in common is the next iteration of the Internet, a decentralized environment where augmented reality and virtual reality will intersect and provide new opportunities for businesses to reimagine user experiences impacting everything from content creation to socializing to monetization. These new technologies will likely challenge conventional legal thinking and create new legal, regulatory and technical issues that must be addressed.
As emerging cyber technologies continue to evolve and reshape the way we live, socialize, collaborate, and work, companies across a variety of industries will face complex legal challenges concerning corporate governance, financing, contracts and agreements, licensing structures, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, tax implications, and much more.
