Featured Panel

Fintech Litigation and ADR – Insights for Today and Tomorrow

As blockchain, cryptocurrency, and smart contracts go mainstream, so do litigation and dispute resolution of matters relating to these technological developments. The SEC and other governmental agencies have become increasingly alert about regulation of cryptocurrency platforms and the companies trading in crypto. Fintech, a collective term used to describe tech tools that help consumers and businesses to manage their financial activities, have drawn increased attention from not only regulators but also hackers – which triggers new legal questions surrounding enforcement, regulation, cybersecurity, and the challenges of civil litigation in a rapidly changing industry.

The panel will discuss the current and expected uptick in litigation activity related to this sector, the legal questions we are facing related to IPO’s of fintech startups, cyber security of platforms, and the recent bankruptcies, and an exploration of how disputes can be brought to resolution. What is the impact of the changing landscape of fintech innovations, fintech startups IPO’s, and what do cutting-edge technologies like blockchain, smart contracts, cryptocurrency and NFT’s mean for successfully arbitrating and mediating these matters?
