Smart contracts are self-executing digital contracts that contain all the clauses within the code, offering a cost-effective method of reducing overheads and ensuring processes are more streamlined.

In some cases these types of contracts are easily created and easy to access, while also reducing the risk of fraud. However, like all contracts they require legal analysis and need to be constructed in a way that offers protection for all relevant parties.

Saracens Solicitors ensure that the executed outcome of your smart contract is enforceable and legally robust, offering insightful tech guidance to help you achieve your commercial aims.

The UK Jurisdiction Taskforce (UKJT) have stated that smarts contracts are legally enforceable. However, some uncertainties about their overall legal status remain – where a term is disputed, for example – so there are grey areas that still need to be resolved.

Laws relating to smart contracts are evolving at a rapid pace, and our smart contract solicitors use their vast experience to offer in-depth advice to entrepreneurs and businesses, helping them to navigate the risk and legal implications.

Before you sign a smart contract, you need to ensure that any risk you are exposed to is minimised and due to the uncertainties associated with these types of agreements, it is advisable to seek independent legal advice from professionals with experience in this field.
