Metaverse & Web 3.0
Advising at the leading-edge of the web
At the core of tech’s great new epoch is an instinct the world of gaming has grasped for years: digital items, tokens and assets should be capable of ownership just like their physical world counterparts. The challenge is to translate this instinct into rights, obligations and legal categories while enabling the metaverse’s huge innovative potential.
With our deep tech sector focus, we have “no qualms about breaking new ground” in this space (GDR 100).
What We Do

- NFTs, blockchain & digital ecosystems
- GDPR & privacy in the metaverse
- IP and ownership issues around digital assets
