The latest legal insights and developments on the metaverse, NFTs, web3, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
The metaverse, an immersive, digital alternative to the physical world, is where virtual avatars come together to work, pursue hobbies, shop, play, or otherwise gather to engage communities and explore the digital space.
It will be the 3-D successor to today's internet and represents a completely new way for us to connect with each other. Many hope that the promises of decentralisation and interoberability that the web3 space brings will be deeply ingrained in this future.
As the metaverse evolves we'll cover the legal issues and developments that surround this exciting new technology, spanning topics such as Data, IP and Employment, not to mention how investors, start-ups and brands can capitalise on the opportunities it presents.

“There’s not an agreement on what the metaverse is, even though one company has changed its name in anticipation of defining it.”
“I don’t see someone strapping a frigging screen to their face all day and not wanting to ever leave.”
"Metaverse isn't a thing a company builds. It's the next chapter of the internet overall."
"The metaverse is here, and it’s not only transforming how we see the world but how we participate in it – from the factory floor to the meeting room.”
"In simplest terms, the metaverse is the internet, but in 3D.”
