About this Event

Quantum Law National Institute

Calling attorneys working as in-house counsel or with clients in the quantum industry to join QED-C for its third annual Quantum Law National Institute. The program is designed by the QED-C Law & Policy Technical Advisory Committee to empower attorneys with the latest insights, trends, and strategies to stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving legal and compliance landscape, with focus on the needs and concerns of the rapidly emerging quantum industry. Whether you're looking to deepen your expertise, explore emerging legal issues, or network with others practicing in the quantum industry, this seminar (now in its third year) delivers high-impact content from seasoned legal professionals and industry thought leaders. Learn from and network with expert practitioners. Through engaging presentations and candid discussions, attendees will gain actionable knowledge across key practice areas, sharpen their skills, and make new connections in a collegial environment.

This program is suitable for attorneys at all career stages who seek to remain competitive in an increasingly complex regulatory world. Attendees will walk away with fresh perspectives, practical takeaways, and a certificate of attendance that may satisfy CLE credit requirements.

Application for New York accreditation of this course or program is currently pending.
