What we'll be doing around Singapore Fintech Festival 2021
Wednesday 10 November
16:00 - Resolution of Technology Disputes – An Introduction to “Troubleshooting” Tech – Tips for Managing Issues in the Tech Sector
The onset of a dispute is damaging in any industry, but the stakes can be particularly high in the tech sector where transactions often involve long-term, collaborative relationships and sensitive proprietary information. What are some key areas of dispute in the tech space? What options are open to the parties when relationships sour? What modes of resolution are most appropriate in disputes involving technical subject matter or confidential information?
In conjunction with Singapore Fintech Festival, our Dispute Resolution and TMT teams are hosting a webinar where we will discuss these and other key questions relating to the resolution of tech sector disputes. In particular, we will explore arbitration as a potential mode of resolution, and address common practical concerns relating to duration, cost, confidentiality, disclosure of sensitive material, and data security risks.
Speakers: Jelita Pandjaitan, Adrian Fisher, Clara Tung and Eriko Kadota

Cryptocurrencies continue to gain mainstream attention and increasing real world adoption, while Non-Fungible Tokens (‘NFTs’) have enjoyed extraordinary growth in 2021. In other areas of the crypto space, the global supply of stablecoins is now worth over US$100 billion, governments are increasingly considering forms of Central Bank Digital Currencies (‘CBDCs’),and ‘De-Fi’ solutions are becoming more widespread. The innovation, potential and speed of this emerging sector is creating complex legal issues and challenging existing legal frameworks across the world.
