Regulatory Ramblings
Welcome to Regulatory Ramblings, a new podcast from a team at The University of Hong Kong on the intersection of all things pertaining to finance, technology, law and regulation. Hosted by The Reg/Tech Lab, HKU-Standard Chartered FinTech Academy, Asia Global Institute and the HKU-edX Professional Certificate in FinTech, with support from the HKU Faculty of Law. Join us as we hear from luminaries across multiple fields and professions as they share their candid thoughts in a stress-free environment - rather than the soundbites one typically hears from the mainstream press.
Regulatory Ramblings
What does it mean to be a Web3 lawyer?
A veteran entrepreneur and technology lawyer with over 15 years of experience specializing in cross-border transactions, data compliance, and regulatory matters more broadly, Jamilia Grier is the founder and chief executive officer of the firm training and consulting firm ByteBao. She also hosts the Barely Legal in Web3 podcast.
She chats with Regulatory Ramblings host Ajay Shamdasani on how to best conceptualize the ever-growing topic of Web3 and what it means to be a lawyer in an age of swift and profound technological innovation. They also discuss the pervasiveness of technophobia in the legal profession – particularly amongst practitioners of earlier generations – as well as the implications of generative artificial intelligence (AI) platforms such as ChatGPT for the profession. They conclude with their conversation with the metaverse and what it means for contract terms, IP issues, transfers of digital property, and NFTs – as Jamilia tells us: it is all connected because the law truly is a seamless web.
