Cases Show Real-World Laws Likely Apply In Metaverse

Webinar | 01.25.23, 9:00 AM EST - 10:00 AM EST

Endless articles rattle on about the brave new world of the metaverse, as if it’s an unprecedented step for commercial and social life. As lawyers, however, we know that there is precedent for everything. This presentation looks at the legal precedent that will likely inform the development of metaverse law. We will look at virtual-world cases involving both common law and federal law. We’ll also look at the pockets where virtual-world caselaw has yet to be developed and consider what types of precedent will fill those gaps. Finally, we’ll discuss what this all means for practitioners who hope to guide their clients in the metaverse.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Virtual world’s case law that lawyers counseling metaverse clients should know
  • Where caselaw in the virtual world has not developed, and what precedent will likely fill in
  • How practitioners can effectively channel this precedent to support metaverse clients

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
