Law of the Future - The Podcast on Law & Technology with Dennis Hillemann

Germany has voted. The new federal government will be formed by the parties SPD, Greens, and the liberal FDP. Today, 24.11.2021, the three governments presented their new coalition agreement at 3 pm. I immediately evaluated the coalition agreement and overviewed the new government plans for blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. In doing so, I have initially focused on the contents of the contract in which Blockchain or cryptocurrencies are explicitly mentioned. In this episode, Dennis gives an overview.

In his latest article on LinkedIn, Dennis explains what moved the blockchain world in the week beginning 15 November 2021. You can find the audio version of the article here.

Germany has voted, and the three "election winners" SPD, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, and FDP want to form a government together. Coalition negotiations between the parties are still ongoing. Thus, the formation of a government by the three parties is far from decided. But the three parties' exploratory paper of 15 October 2021 provides a glimpse into the future. In today's podcast, I present essential key points and give an outlook on what this means legally for the state, authorities, and citizens. In doing so, we focus on the topics of the state, digitalization, climate protection, and innovation competition.

In May 2021, a Dutch court found that large companies have climate responsibility and ordered Shell and its subsidiaries to do more to protect the climate. The ruling, which also attracted much attention internationally (and especially in Germany), also sent German climate activists into raptures. Even then, it was clear that it would only be a matter of time before such lawsuits were filed in Germany as well. Now the time has come. Dennis explains the new form of lawsuits and his point of view on them.
