Recognizing the need to address uncertainty regarding the categorization of digital assets and provide answers about their treatment, the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) and American Law Institute (ALI) approved amendments in 2022 to update the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). Included in these amendments is a new Article 12, specifically governing a category of digital assets referred to in Article 12 as “controllable electronic records” (CERs). This guidance aims to provide clarity as to what rules should govern what rights a transferee acquires in the purchase and sale of a CER, how CERs can be used as collateral for secured transactions, how security interests can be perfected in CERs, and what priority should be given to such perfected security interests.

The pandemic, politically-charged climate, and increased role as a source of news and other information has led social media to have an even larger role in our personal and professional lives. With increased use comes increased ethical risk – of breaking attorney-client privilege or confidentiality, making an uncivil comment, or providing legal advice to someone who is not officially a client. How do you navigate the slippery slope of using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and similar sites without crossing an ethical line? Join us for this one-hour webcast for guidance and a better understanding of appropriate and necessary use of social media in the practice of law.

Three dozen states have legalized medical marijuana and nearly 20 have authorized recreational use. The cannabis industry is a “budding” one despite the federal narcotic treatment of marijuana. Distributors, growers, and retailers keen on capitalizing on this growth are looking to start or expand their business. And location – as they say – is everything! This is especially true since all cannabis business licenses are tied to a piece of real estate. To complicate deals even further, state and local regulations dictating what properties are permissible for cannabis businesses vary greatly. These factors make the real estate aspects of setting up a cannabis location one of the more challenging parts of the cannabis industry. Because of this, cannabis businesses are turning to their trusted commercial real estate counsel to help them navigate the legal issues involved with finding a location to set up their business.

Reporting and disclosure are the fundamental tools used by governments to enforce their domestic tax laws. In recent years, the U.S. federal laws requiring reporting and disclosure -- including the Corporate Transparency Act of 2022 -- have been dramatically expanded and the civil penalties for failure to comply with such laws have been substantially increased. This session details the numerous tools available to the IRS for obtaining information on U.S. taxpayers’ holdings. It will also review U.S. federal reporting and disclosure obligations applicable to international investment and transactions and the penalties for failure to comply with those obligations.

You are undoubtedly familiar with LLCs and LLPs, but what do you know about DAOs and how these organizations differ from traditional hierarchical firms? Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are an emerging new form of organization where control and governance functions frequently are distributed horizontally across its members, eliminating or reducing the need for a central authority to approve project funding. These collectively-owned, blockchain-governed organizations are growing in popularity because it allows the freedom of members, often scattered around the world, to work on a shared mission where all decide how the organization works and how funds are spent. With tightening governmental regulation over digital assets and cryptocurrencies, how will the “off-chain” formation, taxation, liability, and legitimacy of DAOs and its members be affected given the reliance on smart contracts, Web3, and blockchain technologies? What legal risks are associated with DAOs? And, is there the need for traditional “paperwork,” such as an operating agreement, when forming this type of business structure?
