A Practical Guide to Web3, Blockchain, and Smart Contract Law is an essential handbook for lawyers, accountants, academics, business people, and others operating in the Blockchain space. This third edition of one of the first Blockchain law textbooks in the world effectively shines a light on what people perceive to be a "gray area" in the law by addressing a broad range of topics, including securities, tax, business structuring, proceeds of crime and anti-money laundering, smart contracts, estate issues, and much more.

Each chapter of A Practical Guide to Web3, Blockchain, and Smart Contract Law, 3rd Edition is written by a professional at the forefront of the world's legal, accounting, and academic Blockchain community. The analysis of this evolving area of law is thus approached through an interdisciplinary lens that provides a practical and holistic view of how emerging advances in Web3, Blockchain, and Metaverse law interact within new and existing legal frameworks.
