Dispute Resolution at the Frontier of New Technologies

Presentation

Description = What is the future of arbitration in blockchain and digital asset markets? Do smart contracts mean smarter dispute resolution? Technology is reshaping how value moves—and how disputes arise. This panel brings together leading practitioners to examine the friction points at the frontier of digital finance, from smart contracts that misfire to cross border regulatory uncertainty and platform outages. Speakers will consider questions of liability allocation among developers, platforms, and users; discuss arbitrability and forum selection in technology enabled transactions (including wallets, exchanges, and tokens as examples); and outline general approaches to drafting dispute resolution clauses for digital finance contexts. The discussion will also touch on evidentiary considerations involving blockchain data and other digital records, as well as privacy and cybersecurity in arbitration.
