Lawyers - There's a Ton of Total Remote Work at Crypto Exchange Binance

 On the Binance Job Posting Board (scroll down to Legal and Compliance) there are 30+ opportunities for lawyers. All remote. One, for example, is the opening for Data Privacy Legal Counsel in Hong Kong or Remote.  Another is Disputes Legal Counsel in Latin America or Remote.

These positions could be great for lawyers wanting to work remote on a full-time basis. However, as Bloomberg Law points out, the preference is for lawyers who have worked in government. This is the usual situation of the crypto industry doing the revolving door.

The main reason for increasing the number of lawyers is the threat of more regulatory scrutiny. Former government lawyers know how government, including Congress, thinks and takes action.  

Binance is the largest crypto exchange in the world. Like the rest of the digital asset industry, Binance has been through the wringer. Its founder Chanpeng Zhao has seen his wealth blow up. Bloomberg Law documents that it has nosedived from $96 billion to $11.6 billion. 

It is mere speculation if crypto will recover, when, and by how much. Here is Law and More's reflection on the extreme folly of relying on expert opinion.

Timing Is Just Right for US Government to Create The Ministry of Magic

The good versus evil meme plays out over control of the Ministry of Magic. That's the delightful plot and setting for the latest sequel in the "Fantastic Beasts" film series. This one has the subtitle "Secrets of Dumbledore." The good side is represented by Albus Dumbledore and the evil one by Gellert Grindelwald. What hangs this all together is the need to protect the mystical creature Qilin  which can see into souls and foresee the future. Meanwhile Grindelwald has conjured up a fraudulent version of the  Qilin.  Magic, of course, is the way problems are solved and opportunities are seized in the film. Those on the Dumbledore team use white magic. Those on Grindelwald's the toxic kind. But, white magic wins, thanks to the ability to get the  Qilin  to the election to select what leader is pure of heart. Along the way the displays of fanastic whatevers, including the beasts, are amazing. And, like a Shakespearean comedy, the film ends with a wedding. Al...

Law Students - Subreddit for Big Law As Ultimate Mentor

The  subreddit for Big Law  is, again, the ultimate mentor.  An introvert posed the  query  about how social he has to be to succeed as a summer. He frames the question this way: If he attends all scheduled social events and stays until 10:00 AM is that "enough?" Or, does he have to move on the party-after-the-party? And, drink a lot of alcohol?  26 detailed, thoughtful comments came in. Essentially the answer was: Enough. After all law firms are filled with nerds. The guidance was to be cordial with everyone during those events as well as back in the office. (And, yes, summer is being done RTO).  As for the party-after-the-party there are stern warnings about the inherent peril. Excess, especially of alcohol consumption, has been known to cause a career setback. One law firm ousted the summer mid-internship.  A previous discussion on the subreddit had advised summers about appropriate attire. Connect with Editor-in-Chief Jane Genova at janegenova...

The Queen's 70th - Count Us Out of the Celebration

  The Wall Street Journal, the bible of business, focuses on the revenue being generated through the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's 70 years on the throne. Yes, the celebration will be a gala event June 2nd through the 5th. That will unfold despite how Queen Elizabeth is portrayed in the film "Spencer." Here is a trailer . The setting is the traditional-bound Christmas holiday among the royals. After 10 years the marriage has moved beyond restoration to unremitting pain for Diana and seeming frustration for Charles. Yet, the Queen is total dour and no empathy for her daughter-in-law. The focus is on preventing more bad press.  A bit of emotional warmth might have centered Diana. Instead she unravels. Her sons bear witness to that. No wonder Harry outs so much internal turmoil.  Diana is dead. The Queen is not. Sure she has her aches and pains and physical limits. But there she is. Those of us haunted by the scenes of Diana's suffering in "Spencer" wi...
