Session I - Addressing Third-party Risks in NFT Deals
As consumer demand for NFTs continues, organizations looking to capitalize on the hype need to be aware of the legal risks. At various stages of the life of an NFT - from ideation to its creation and minting on the blockchain, to being listed and offered for sale, and potentially being resold by the purchaser – several third-party stakeholders are involved. While some of the third-party risks associated with NFTs and their creation, promotion, and sale will be familiar to organizations and their legal teams, others are unique to the NFT and blockchain space. Join us for a discussion on the third parties involved in a drop, offering, or other deal involving NFTs and how to address the third-party risk that is presented with respect to the various stakeholders involved.
