Blockchain technology is, by definition, borderless. But what happens when such a widespread ledger becomes the focus of litigation? In this episode, hosts Andrew McCoomb and Ailsa Bloomer welcome Robert (Bob) Schwinger, commercial litigator and FinTech lawyer from our New York office. Bob brings us up to speed on just what, exactly, cryptocurrencies are, raising interesting jurisdictional questions as they become an increasingly frequent subject of litigation. Bob is author of the New York Law Journal’s “Blockchain Law” column. Check out his last installment for recent updates: Blockchain Law: Out to sea?
