Aaron Grinhaus' Toronto law firm is one of a growing group of companies setting up offices in a virtual world called themetaverse to push the envelope and learn more about the emerging technology.

As a snowstorm bore down on Toronto, Aaron Grinhaus spoke fondly about the view from his office -- not his law firm's building in midtown, but the one in the metaverse, where two park benches sit around a water fountain and the sky is a gradient of denimblue."It's got a park bench and some nice foliage around. So we can sit outside and have meetings, even if it's snowstorm in Toronto.

Grinhaus has been representing clients involved in bitcoin, cryptocurrency mining, and other ventures relating to cryptocurrencies and other emerging technologies for several years. He wrote the first legal textbook on blockchain law in 2019 -- blockchain is the technology that underpins cryptocurrency transactions -- and is the co-director of the Osgoode law school's blockchain law program.

But Peterson said organizations need to consider how they will approach things like ability, identity and accessibility in these new spaces, something EY's metaverse lab is currently exploring. "I'm not cutting any corners. What we are doing is we're augmenting or supplementing what we do today with the new technology to enhance communication."

People do know there is this program called Second life where companies could have just as easily set up in right? Like no matter how you try to spin it, Meteverse is DOA. Mark tried to bring in his own form of currency with NFT's and failed.

Hmmm No

I had the worlds first digital abortion in the metaverse. AMA

Recently, senior leadership in my company presented an all-hands in the Metaverse. It was the most cringey thing imaginable. No one thinks this is cool and no one thinks this is innovative. The Metaverse looks like a game from the year 2000, it's embarrassing.

No.

Playing make-believe again? Lol 🤡🌎
