The Blockchain Lawyers Forum is pleased to announce the creation of a dedicated specialist arbitrator list to serve the growing dispute management needs of the community in the blockchain and crypto sectors. This initiative addresses the frequent requests from our members for experienced arbitrators who possess not only a strong foundation in arbitration but also a deep understanding of the blockchain and crypto industry. 

The BLF Arbitrator List is not affiliated with any arbitral institution but stands as an independent resource. 

The list is independently managed by a committee comprised of Dr. Nino Sievi and Ms. Sophie Nappert, ensuring an impartial and rigorous selection process.

Deadline: to be included in the inaugural list, arbitrators must submit their applications by 31 May 2024. The inaugural BLF Arbitrator List will be unveiled in June 2024. 
Applications received after this date will still be considered for subsequent inclusion. 

To be included in the BLF Arbitrator List, arbitrators should be able to provide concrete examples of their experience, including references to cases in the public domain, academic or research work, and any other relevant information that showcases their expertise in arbitration and blockchain.
