About the event

This seminar is also being delivered via webinar.

According to Cointree 4.6 million Australians hold some form of crypto asset.  This equates to nearly 17.6% of the total population which is comparable to the USA.  According to the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission approximately 20% of the US population hold some form of crypto asset.  This penetration is to greatly increase especially if Australia moves to an Australian Reserve Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).  Consequently, this growing market in digital asset adoption will require the Lawyers and Barristers to understand this new asset class.  The major issues will among other areas of the law include succession law, enduring Powers of Attorney obligations, family law, bankruptcy law, and company liquidations in identifying the existence of digital assets and how to access them and deal with them legally.
