Metaverse. Digital Assets. NFTs. Data fabric. TIAs. Cybersecurity mesh. Generative AI. Exponentiality. As we leave 2021 – with more than its fair share of TLAs and buzzwords – the cloud driven “tech intensity” that has fuelled all technology industries since the start of the pandemic is itself intensifying.

As ever, tech law struggles to keep up. Although it’s always got there in the end, the gap between technology’s leading edge and where the law is has never been greater.

Lawyers from top UK tech practice Kemp IT Law have for many years looked forward to see what current trends have in store for tech law in the year ahead.  What’s unique this year is the combination of “tech intensity” and growing societal calls for change.

In this webinar, we’ll be exploring:

  • what these macro trends mean for tech law developments in 2022;
  • their impact on contracting, regulation and intellectual property; and
  • the changes we might expect next year in the areas of AI, blockchain, data, platforms, digital assets and the metaverse.
