Beyond the Valley

Leigh-Ann Buchanan is featured as the University of Miami School of Law’s 2022 Law Review Symposium Opening Keynote. The theme, Beyond the Valley, examines the legal effects of technology companies’ movement away from Silicon Valley and into cities like Miami.

In addition to discussing what role attorneys will play in shaping the regulatory landscape governing this rapidly growing industry. The Symposium will not only focus on the substantive legal and regulatory issues but will also discuss the effects, positive and negative, the new industry may have on local communities.

Panelists will address a variety of themes including, how new cities like Miami can avoid the negative effects tech has had in Silicon Valley on already marginalized communities, the relationship between venture capital investment and tech start-ups, the role of anti-trust regulation, and cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
