SMART LEGAL CONTRACT ASSISTANCE

Smart contracts are involved in any blockchain projects. In certain circumstances, such smart contracts need to be legally compliant or need to represent actual binding legal obligations. We will provide you with legal assistance so that your “smart contracts” can become “smart legal contracts”. Our services include:

• drafting of legal obligations in computational logic;

• identification of the contractual logic;

• liaising with coders to develop smart contracts which include binding legal obligations.

LEGAL ENGINEERING

It is increasingly common for a legal professional to be integrated into a software or platform design team to contribute to the design of the product itself. This feature however goes beyond the traditional compliance activity required in particular, when the product is designed to perform a function that is "legal" in itself (so-called “legaltech” products). Legaltech products include online dispute resolution platforms, electronic signature products under the eIDAS Regulation, automation of contractual relationships, etc. We therefore provide our expertise to contribute to the design and legal testing of the functions. Our services include:

• advice on the design of the legal functions of the product and features;

• testing and simulating the use of the product's legal functions with the team;

• advice on ensuring compliance-by-design of the product with the most stringent EU laws and English laws.
