Ever since I was introduced to this dynamic novel field; blockchain technology, by my dear colleague Boulevard Aladetoyinbo, I have had amazing times learning, unlearning and relearning. Choosing the field as my law practice area is arguably one of the smartest decisions I made after deciding to dust my wig and gown from a two years long slumber.
Although the blockchain and crypto space is a relatively young one, the role of lawyers in the field is critical and a necessity. I’m always quick to tell anyone who cares to listen about the limitless career opportunities available in the blockchain and crypto field. More especially, I encourage young lawyers looking to specialize to consider emerging fields like blockchain and crypto.
Usually, after ranting about why a lawyer should get involved in blockchain, I always get asked about resources to read up on. So, here is my ultimate everything blockchain for lawyers: go from clueless to informed. This is my attempt to put together all a lawyer interested in blockchain needs to know about and more. Considering the dynamic nature of the field, I intend to always keep this page updated.
