Presented by the International Association of Lawyers, with support from the Brussels Bar, and in collaboration with hub.brussels.

Technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence are changing our environment and influencing our way of thinking by pushing back the boundaries of the possible ever further and ever faster. For lawyers, these rapid and constant evolutions not only disrupt our daily professional life but also raise major ethical challenges: how do we integrate these advances into our legal system without losing its coherence and how to benefit from the opportunities they offer without jeopardizing fundamental rights and the rule of law?

CDER’s Mari Margil will be presenting at this seminar, participating in a panel on the innovative advancements in the realm of environmental law. This seminar will highlight some of the implications of these developments for our clients and for us in various fields, as well as possible responses to the issues they raise.
