Lunchtime Lecture: Blockchain
Since the arrival of Bitcoin, the buzz around blockchain technology has been building. Kennedys recently published a White Paper on its application to the insurance industry (15/02/2018), and has been described by Legal IT Insider as distinguishing itself as a law firm leader when it comes to blockchain. In addition to potential insurance implications, time it could be adopted by a wide range of insured businesses.
Emily Clift and Rob Tanner of Kennedys will discuss:
- The basic principles of blockchain technology
- How it is connected to privacy regulation
- Application in shipping
- Insurance industry initiative B3i
- Fraud
- Potential pitfalls
- The future of insurance policies
