9th July | Featuring Prof. Sarah Green & Louis Atyeo

The digital assets landscape is evolving rapidly – and so is the law. Join us for a must-attend seminar exploring the latest legal developments in England and Wales that are shaping how businesses and individuals interact with crypto and digital assets.

Why Attend?

Whether you’re already working in the digital assets space or looking to expand your expertise, this seminar is your gateway to understanding critical legal reforms and their real-world implications. Perfect for lawyers at all levels – especially junior lawyers who will encounter these developments throughout their careers.


Speakers:
Prof. Sarah Green, Independent Arbitrator, Newmans Row
Louis Atyeo, Head of Secretariat, London Chamber of Arbitration and Mediation (LCAM)


Session 1: Navigating the New Legal Landscape

Prof. Sarah Green will guide you through the Law Commission’s groundbreaking consultations and reforms, unpacking why these changes were necessary and what they mean for your practice. You’ll gain insights into:

  • The legal characterisation of digital assets, proprietary rights, custody, control, and transfer
  • Corporate transaction considerations – from due diligence to warranties and post-completion risk when dealing with digital asset holdings
  • Private client implications – structuring, estate planning, and dispute preparedness for high net worth individuals with digital asset portfolios
  • What makes digital asset disputes unique – and why traditional litigation may not be the answer

Session 2: A New Era of Dispute Resolution

Louis Atyeo will explore the benefits and limitations of alternative dispute resolution, with a particular focus on arbitration, in the context of commercial disputes involving digital assets. He will examine the London Chamber of Arbitration and Mediation (LCAM)’s groundbreaking Expedited Blockchain Arbitration Rules (2025) – developed in collaboration with Immunefi and Greenberg Traurig – and consider how this innovative framework may help shape the future of digital dispute resolution.

Key features you’ll learn about: on-chain enforcement mechanisms, optional anonymity provisions, pre-agreed lex situs for digital assets,… A pragmatic, technologically aligned framework for the modern age.

Stay ahead of the curve. Equip yourself with the knowledge to have informed, confident conversations with clients and contacts about this rapidly evolving practice area.
