BLOCKCHAIN

The ICBLA is creating opportunities through education, dialogue, leadership, and action to help members navigate the most innovative, emerging technology of our time.

Established in 2023, The International Congress of Blockchain Legal Advisors is working to develop thoughtful attorneys and legal advisors to blockchain technology companies around the globe.

We bring together thoughtful attorneys and legal advisors with diverse backgrounds to develop specific areas of expertise.

We help legal professionals increase their blockchain acumen through advanced education presented by industry experts and ICBLA Senior Fellows. Educational programs include online courses, in-person events and special retreats. Topics include an array of basic blockchain legal principles, compliance and regulation and corporate governance.

We cultivate and support values-based, purpose-driven blockchain leaders and innovators.

Blockchain technology may be the most important evolution of technology since the deployment of the Internet. This technology can make an impact in virtually every industry as the global economy adopts the trustless decentralized model to solve real world challenges and problems associated with global markets. The demand for competent legal advisors is rapidly increasing as more and more applications for blockchain are being discovered.

We turn ideas into action and impact for blockchain entrepreneurs and engineers.

Innovative entrepreneurs are exploring diverse ways blockchain technology can be deployed to solve a variety of historically difficult challenges. However, like most paradigm shifts, new legal issues and concerns are pressing in this emerging sector. The regulatory environment, intellectual property rights, operational dependencies and paradigms, and corporate governance are all evolving and the need for confident, competent legal advisors has never been greater.
