This CLE course will discuss insurance issues related to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The program will explore how standard insurance products--including D&O, cyber, CGL, E&O, commercial crime and property insurance--apply to cryptocurrency-related risks, as well as recent trends, case law and practical considerations for insurance counsel.

Description

Blockchain usage has become a reality for enough businesses--whether through the use of a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or otherwise--that it is critical savvy counsel consider the risks associated with the technology and the applicability of insurance to those unique risks.

Indeed, because Bitcoin is the most prominent use of blockchain technology, the insurance issues it presents can illuminate risks associated with the underlying technology in general.

Courts and regulators continue to grapple with the nature of Bitcoin. And as the technology matures, insurance policies will adapt to address the risk. For now, coverage lawyers and clients are faced with blue waters and some uncertainty. But coverage will still be determined by traditional rules of policy interpretation, using tools in all coverage insurance attorneys' tool kits.

Listen as our authoritative speaker discusses how standard insurance products apply to cryptocurrency-related risks, as well as recent trends, case law, and practical considerations for insurance counsel and their clients.
