Moderated by Michal Woloszanski, Woloszanski & Partners Law Firm (Poland) and presented by Diego Nunes, Estudio Nunes & Asociados Abogados (Argentina).

In our third meeting Cryptocurrency Global Practice Group, we bring together members from inside our alliance who have some experience of cryptocurrency and clients who are building businesses around it.

Because of the decentralized nature of digital currency and the fact that there is no central entity ruling over it, different countries have tried to regulate crypto assets in their own way. Our panel of experts will provide you with the latest high-profile and regulatory developments from around the world within the cryptocurrency sector. These insights will help you to form better judgment on whether to add a focus on cryptocurrency to your firm's list of practice areas and engage with such clients, rather than push them away.

In this informative session our agenda will include:

• New guidance on cryptocurrency securities law and regulations in Canada

• An update on AML 6 (Anti-Money Laundering) Directive

• Cryptocurrencies – a lawyers’ perspective.

• An update on the new e-trading platform Central Bank Digital Currency
(CBDC)

• Licensing opportunities in Estonia

We aim for you to leave this meeting with a greater understanding of how to be ready to advise on this market in your country and who you can turn to within AGA for assistance in developing your practice and serving your clients.
