Course Aims | ||||||||
Technology, business and law are often taught as distinct disciplines, but in the “real world” moving at 5G speed where “data is the new gold” and disruptive technologies and start-ups are making a paradigm shift and testing the limit of existing laws and regulations, clients and employers are looking to hire and grow with future lawyers who can master these intertwined disciplines to deliver cost-effective and forward-looking creative legal solutions. This course should offer students with more practical insights as the course will be led by a well-recognised technology lawyer who is a Partner of an international law firm covering Asia Pacific and has served in-house at leading technology companies, and he will be explaining key concepts, and be inviting technologists, entrepreneurs, business leaders and other lawyers to help students understand the interplay of these disciplines, and the practical application of technological innovations such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, big data, Fintech, Smart City, Metaverse and Openverse. This course aims to provide students opportunities to study, on an intensive basis, an existing or emerging area of law so as to meet the challenges of working in a global environment. | ||||||||
