Blockchain Lawyer - DEROULEZ Avocat
As technology for storing and transmitting information, transparent, secure and operating without any central control system, blockchains have started a major technological revolution, similar to other such breakthroughs (artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Big data, etc.).
The legal challenges involved in blockchains
DEROULEZ AVOCAT is highly involved in the analyses and work on blockchains, the use of tokens or the development of cryptocurrencies. As such, the law firm actively participates in academic discussions on the legal framework or the use of these new tools through numerous events. Jérôme Deroulez is also regularly invited to take part in discussions in Paris and Brussels, by public institutions and various other stakeholders.
As a law firm specializing in personal data protection, DEROULEZ AVOCAT has naturally developed a service covering blockchains.
The reason is that the deeply disruptive nature of blockchains poses major legal issues in terms of:
The legal qualification of blockchains (private or public blockchains, hybrid systems);
The protection of personal data (privacy, GDPR, the right to be forgotten, "Know Your Customer" requirements (KYC);
Respect for privacy (alias naming, de-identification);
Means of proof, particularly in the context of copyrights, artistic creation or intellectual property;
Regulations and the status applicable to cryptocurrencies and tokens;
Provisions applicable in the context of smart contracts;
Rules applicable to Initial Coin Offerings (financing methods, distribution, money laundering, Anti-Money Laundering, privacy, etc.);
The legal value of transactions recorded or made on a blockchain.
Regulation of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) and their governance ...
