to arbitration. From issues related to ownership of crypto wallets to minting NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and to the possible re-application of Lex Arbitri to arbitration proceedings related to digital assets in general, the course covers all such aspects in a multidisciplinary manner. Provided that from crypto assets to digital tokens in general and from regtech to fintech, everything related to the metaverse implies blockchain technology and smart contracts, few critical discussions appear with relation to consent, separability, and other principles inherent to arbitration proceedings. As well, the discussions will also cover issues of public order and imperative norms of law, which are applicable to – de minimis – enforcement procedures for arbitral awards. Of course, these discussions will be transposed to what is legally achievable in proceedings related to this new space.
Speakers:
- Dr. Laura Voda, Head of Corporate & Commercial practice group – Fichte & Co.
- Mr. Elias Ahonen, Blockchain Author, Journalist, and Blockchain Legal Expert.
- Mr. Koen van Riel, Head of Strategy, SkyneNFT Dubai.
Moderator:
- Mr. Hussain Hadi, Lexis Nexis Middle East.
Venue:
- The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC
Date and Time:
- 14th November, 2022 (9:30 am - 12 pm)

...
to the MARPOL Annex VI, which are due to enter into force on 1 November 2022. These include Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) certification requirements and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) regulations which are set to come into effect from 1 January 2023. We review how these new requirements will affect traditional rights and obligations of Owners and Charterers in various charterparties. We also look at the BIMCO standard clauses and what practical and commercial issues will a more carbon-efficient era of shipping entail.

Special Purpose Vehicles are unprecedented in the UAE Law. They have been recently codified under the new Commercial Companies Law, in force as of 2022. The purpose of these SPV’s

is to support the larger scale mergers and acquisition markets and to provide a new income generator for the overall UAE economy. The jurisdiction hence aligns with other well known markets, by this allowing public companies more flexibility towards regulating their obligations. It is expected to see a positive impact of these developments in the stock exchanges, therefore we deem these as an important step ahead.
