The Metaverse—A Conversation with a Law Firm with a Digital Asset Practice

Interested in learning more about the Metaverse and Digital Asset Practices and how they can affect your legal practice, stay tuned for an in-depth conversation with Nikki Shaver and partners from Falcon, Rappaport & Berkman LLP

Questions the moderator will ask the speakers:

-Falcon Rappaport opened an "office" in the metaverse. Can you explain to listeners what the metaverse is and why the firm decided to engage with it in this way?-Did you find it beneficial? Is it something you'd do again?-What is the crypto-economy and why would firms want to engage with it?

-Your firm accepts cryptocurrency. Can you discuss the benefit of doing so?

-There has been a misperception around crypto, for example that it's used for illegitimate transactions. Can you explain to listeners why legitimate law firm clients want to use it to pay their legal fees?-How do they even do that? (PayPal, Venmo, ATMs etc.)-Do you think it's short-sighted of firms NOT to offer cryptocurrency as a payment option (some firms still can't even offer credit card payments!)?

-Why did the firm decide to create this practice and what were the benefits of doing so?-Overall, do you two think the fact that your firm is open to doing things in new ways has opened new pathways for you and brought in clients you might not otherwise have had?-Is your firm also already exploring generative AI?
