Tech Intersect #233: Upskilling the Legal Profession for the Web3 Era with Jamilia Grier [SPOTLIGHT]

Current lawyers are woefully unprepared for the exponential growth in the tech industry as educational institutions fail to mass-educate lawyers fast enough. Jamilia Grier, international technology lawyer and Founder & CEO of ByteBao, argues that the onus is actually on the legal professionals to educate themselves and others on emerging digital assets, web3, and ever-evolving regulatory frameworks. This week, episode 233 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about upskilling the legal profession for the web3 era!

Jamilia Grier is a serial expat-entrepreneur and the visionary force behind ByteBao and the thought-provoking podcast "Barely Legal in Web3." Passionate about navigating global business and the tech landscape with purpose, Jamilia brings a unique blend of leadership and values to the forefront.

Topics Jamilia and I cover in this episode include:

• It is no longer acceptable for lawyers to graduate without a strong understanding of technology, even if it means taking the lead in educating themselves.
• Businesses should involve business-savvy lawyers at the start of product development rather than waiting until problems arise. 
• International experience and cultural competency are valuable skills for lawyers to serve clients in the borderless digital economy best.
• Lawyers and technologists are responsible for ensuring that new tech does not perpetuate or exacerbate existing social inequities and, instead, empower underrepresented voices.
