Preparing Smart Contracts: Role of Counsel

While “smart contracts” have the potential to revolutionize business transactions, vulnerabilities in the operational accuracy and security of the underlying code pose a substantial risk for companies deploying the technology. Coding errors can result from software developers not having the economic perspective or legal knowledge necessary for accurate programming.

​

Capable practitioners add value to their clients during the planning, drafting and implementation of contract language. In the context of smart contracts, counsel must understand the detailed range of contingencies and outcomes available with a software-driven agreement, and prepare to expand their usual advisory role to address these issue.

Practitioners must also be prepared to lend insight during the software development process by identifying and correcting business errors commonly encoded before deployment of smart contracts and tailor remedies that encourage non-pecuniary resolution once a hacker exploits a vulnerability.

Our panel will prepare counsel to help clients avoid the risks associated with vulnerabilities in “smart contracts.” The panel will discuss best practices for the planning, drafting and integration of contract language designed to limit potential liabilities that may arise when vulnerabilities interfere with smart contract performance.

Smart Contracts, Dumb Lawyers

Distributed ledgers are changing the way contracts are executed and fulfilled. The role of lawyers will be affected by "contracts as code," and the legal profession is not prepared. With the best of intentions, many legal practitioners are actually getting in the way of the advancements that smart contracts offer, primarily due to lawyers' lack of understanding of the basic technology concepts underlying blockchain and smart contracts. We will take an enlightening and sometimes humorous look at the mistakes lawyers make when dealing with technology issues, with a particular focus on how regulations and laws are being drafted with limited understanding of the technology.

Smart Contracts: Are We Getting Rid of Lawyers?

Smart contracts promise to fundamentally re-write how today’s legal agreements work – converting legal code to computer code that will automatically execute, make payments, transfer ownership in property, all in an uninterruptible manner. Born from Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, many smart contract platforms claim they'll eliminate the need for lawyers! We’ll discuss how smart contracts work, their business benefits, and associated risks of trading legal frameworks for automated computer code.

Consumer Attitudes on Mobile Signatures

Over three-quarters of Americans are now smartphone owners. For many, these devices are THE key entry point to the online world. Consequently, consumer expectations of access to financial services from their mobile devices are on the rise.

​

Financial institutions are finding more and more that mobile options for consumers are not options at all but instead are imperatives to business success. These include lending options upon which millions of dollars and man hours are being spent in development each and every month.

​

So just how comfortable are consumers with using a mobile device:

​

• To review, understand, and sign actual legal documents?

• To work through an entire loan process?

• For important financial transactions with limited assistance by actual human beings?

And, what is the connection between what consumers are experiencing and their consequential behavior?

​

The Electronic Signatures and Records Association (ESRA) and Wells Fargo invite you to attend a free one hour webinar on Tuesday, September 12 at 2PM CST as we answer these questions and many more.

• Hosted by Joe Hopper, Ph.D. of Versta Research

• With commentary from Ken Moyle, ESRA Director of Public Policy & President & Chief Legal Officer at K6 Partners

• Explore two independent studies (one qualitative by IBM & one quantitative by Versta)

This is your opportunity to enhance your digital electronic signature strategies through direct insight into today’s consumer needs, behaviors and desires when it comes to online and mobile eSignatures.
