Dear Law Society Member,
I hope my mail meets you well.
My name is Oluwapelumi Odetoyinbo. I am a PhD Researcher at Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom. I am writing to request for an audience/interview with lawyers in your society who may be able to support my research with an interview.
I am currently working on the determination of jurisdiction in cross border smart legal contracts disputes with the United Kingdom as my focus. As a novel legal issue tied to a relatively new technology-Blockchain, I am examining what procedures the United Kingdom needs to put in place for determining jurisdiction in order to ensure legal certainty.
I am well aware of the pivotal role legal practitioners play on this issue. It is on this basis that I am writing to request for an opportunity to interview legal practitioners in your society to gain an insight into the experiences of your lawyers in this regard. This would go a long way in helping my research findings in order to strengthen the legal landscape in the United Kingdom with regards to determination of jurisdiction when it comes to Smart Legal contracts deployed on Blockchain.
If you are happy to be interviewed please contact me on 210000795@aston.ac.uk or via LinkedIn on https://www.linkedin.com/in/oluwapelumi-odetoyinbo-36790a179.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Kind regards,
Pelumi Odetoyinbo, Doctoral Researcher, Aston Law School
