ArbTech Highlights: Launch of the BLF Specialist Arbitrator List for Blockchain Disputes
The Blockchain Lawyers Forum (BLF), the largest global network of Web3 legal practitioners, has announced the launch of a Specialist Arbitrator List—a valuable new resource for resolving blockchain and crypto-related disputes.
Curated by Dr. Nino Sievi and Sophie Nappert, this independent list brings together experienced arbitrators with both a strong arbitration background and deep knowledge of blockchain technology and the crypto industry. With disputes in the digital asset sector becoming more frequent and more complex, the initiative answers a clear market need: access to neutrals who understand not just arbitration procedure but also the technical and commercial realities of Web3.
“The BLF Arbitrator List is a timely and necessary initiative. As blockchain and crypto-related disputes become more complex, parties need arbitrators who not only understand arbitration but also grasp the unique features of this evolving technology.”
Why this matters for arbitration
Independent and impartial – The BLF list is not tied to any arbitral institution, ensuring neutrality in the selection process.
Expert-driven – Inclusion requires demonstrable expertise, such as case experience, academic contributions, or other recognized work in blockchain and arbitration.
Growing roster – Already, more than 35 arbitrators are part of the list, creating one of the first global hubs of its kind.
Accessing the BLF Arbitrator List
At ArbTech, we continue to track and spotlight innovations like this that shape the future of arbitration in the blockchain era.
