Frontiers in Arbitration: Cross-Border Challenges in the Age of Crypto and Smart Contracts
JAMS is a proud participant and supporter of Miami Arbitration Week 2024 taking place November 30 to December 6, 2024. Join JAMS and the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators – North America Branch for a panel discussion titled "Frontiers in Arbitration: Cross-Border Challenges in the Age of Crypto and Smart Contracts" on December 4, 2024 at our JAMS Miami Resolution Center at 5:30 pm ET.
As cryptocurrencies and smart contracts reshape international finance, they also bring unique legal and regulatory challenges to cross-border transactions. In this evolving landscape, international arbitration offers a flexible and enforceable framework for resolving disputes, yet it must adapt to the distinctive characteristics of digital assets. This panel will explore how international arbitration can address the complexities of global disputes involving crypto and smart contracts, particularly in the financial sector where significant cross-border investments, compliance obligations, and regulatory diversity exist.
Panelists will discuss key aspects of managing international disputes tied to digital assets, including the enforceability of cross-border smart contract agreements, navigating conflicting regulations, and selecting effective arbitration clauses for high-stakes, multinational transactions. The discussion will provide financial institutions, legal counsel, and arbitration practitioners with insights on mitigating risks and structuring arbitration strategies suited to the global nature of digital finance.
