How the 2022 Amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code Will Affect Your Practice
The New York City Bar Association is hosting a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program titled "How the 2022 Amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code Will Affect Your Practice." This event is designed to provide legal professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the recent amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and their implications for legal practice.
The program will focus on the introduction of Article 12, which addresses controllable electronic records, and will also cover significant amendments to Articles 8 and 9. Attendees will gain insights into how these changes impact transactions involving digital assets, including the interplay between the new and existing articles. The discussion will extend to the relevance of these amendments for asset managers investing in digital assets and the implications of the SEC's proposed Safeguarding Rule concerning the custody of assets by registered investment advisers.
The event will feature a panel of esteemed legal professionals, including members of the City Bar's Commercial Law & Uniform State Laws Committee and the Task Force on Digital Technologies. Notable speakers include Lorraine McGowen, Tracey Chenoweth, Alan Kolod, Eric Marcus, Sandra Rocks, Gregory Rowland, Edwin Smith, and Sandra Stern. The program will include interactive discussions, a question-and-answer session, and opportunities for networking with peers and experts in the field.
This program is ideal for attorneys, asset managers, and legal professionals who deal with commercial transactions, digital assets, and related regulatory frameworks. Participants will enhance their understanding of the UCC amendments, ensuring they remain informed and compliant with the evolving legal landscape.
