ICT Committee

Emeka Arinze Esq.

Chairman

In today’s digital environment, lawyers in whatever jurisdiction deal with early-stage, high-growth start-ups and leading global tech corporations on a day-to-day basis, and the variety of sectors covered is just as wide. This committee therefore aims to prepare members with a wide range of multidisciplinary competencies in law and technologies. There is no doubt that the legal domain is affected by IoE (Internet of Everything), so it becomes critical for a lawyer to understand the technology domain which is his ultimate end-to-end environment to become tech-savvy with a competitive edge in the legal market space.
