All About the Data: Leveraging Data and Other Opportunities for Innovation While Managing Regulatory Challenges

The "All About the Data: Leveraging Data and Other Opportunities for Innovation While Managing Regulatory Challenges" panel was a featured session at the National Bar Association’s Commercial Law Section’s annual Corporate Counsel Conference, held from February 24 to 27, 2022, in Miami, Florida. This conference is a premier event organized by the National Bar Association's Commercial Law Section, bringing together legal professionals to discuss pressing issues in corporate law.

The panel focused on the evolving landscape of digital assets and regulatory frameworks. Key topics included the implications of El Salvador's recognition of Bitcoin as official currency and anticipated changes to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), particularly the introduction of Chapter 12, which aims to govern transactions involving virtual currencies, NFTs, and other digital assets.

Attendees had the opportunity to engage with experts like Lorraine McGowen, a partner at Orrick and Vice President of the New York City Bar Association, who shared insights on these developments. The conference also offered networking sessions and discussions on various legal challenges and innovations.

This event was particularly beneficial for corporate counsel, legal practitioners, and professionals interested in the intersection of technology and law, providing them with up-to-date information on regulatory changes and strategies for leveraging data in legal practice.
