Blockchain in a Law Firm | How will distributed ledger technology influence the corporate governance of its client base?

Abstract

The potential impact of blockchain is discussed in vast number of studies and reports. In addi-tion, there is various literature on technical applications of blockchain, often too sophisticated for economists unless they have specific knowledge. Even though there is a large and growing body of literature on blockchain, it still appears that more is reported than done. This is unhelp-ful to companies that may make use of this progressive technology. Despite its popularity, companies should not neglect business and legal aspects coming with blockchain.
