October 18, 2023 – New York, NY – Justin M. Jacobson recently spoke as part of the New York State Bar Association and the California Lawyers Association‘s “Deep Dive into the Metaverse and Web3: Second Global Law Symposium” on a panel exploring the “Ethical Issues Created by Web3/Metaverse in the Law: Crypto Currency, Privacy & Ethics” with other attorneys including Jeremy Evans of California Sports Lawyer and Amanda Katzenstein of Salesforce. The symposium featured two days of panels exploring various legal issues related to Web3, Emerging Technologies, such as AI, and Digital Assets such as NFTs, including exploring multiple practice areas and examining how lawyers may competently and ethically represent clients in these ever-developing areas. The panel specifically explored the legal ethical issues created by an attorney’s usage of web3, AI, and the metaverse as well as advising a lawyer’s clients on best practices. The discussion centered around each attorney’s duty of confidentiality as it relates to any information input or received in the metaverse or entered into an AI platform.
