Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have emerged from relative obscurity into the mainstream, taking the investment world and public imagination by storm. While market volatility has called the future of some cryptocurrencies into question, one thing is clear: blockchain, the technology upon which cryptocurrencies are built, is here to stay. And its potential uses –– and legal implications –– reach far beyond the financial sector.

This program qualifies for 1.5 Substantive Hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for the Law Society of Ontario (through the Faculty of Law, Common Law Section).

Attendees can donate online to the Centre whatever they think is fair.
