As reported on Above the Law, a UK law firm is offering to sell certain non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) on OpenSea.io, which can be redeemed by the purchaser for an hour of legal advice “on the subjects of financial services regulation, blockchain, and NFTs, along with the strategy, compliance, governance, and documentation necessary of such a new-fangled technology.”
