| 10:15 » 11:15 | Panel 2: Tracing digital assets – learn from the experts As traditional notions of assets continue to expand beyond physical boundaries, the rise of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets has introduced a new dimension to the concept of intangible assets. In this panel, we will explore the complex world of tracing intangible assets in the digital age. This panel will feature legal experts and an asset tracing specialist, who will provide valuable perspectives on the challenges and share innovative strategies when searching for digital assets. Moderator: Grégoire Chappuis, Niederer Kraft Frey, Geneva, Switzerland Speaker:

| 11:15 » 12:15 | Panel 3: Digital assets – which court and which law? The intangible and often borderless nature of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, NFTs and other forms of digital property, present challenges relating to jurisdiction and applicable law. On this panel, we will discuss the challenges associated with establishing jurisdiction in cases involving digital assets and the uncertainties regarding the applicable law. We will also discuss strategies for mitigating or minimizing such legal ambiguity, including the UNIDROIT Digital Assets and Private Law project. Moderator: Katarzyna Szczudlik, Schoenherr Halwa sp.k., Poland Speakers:

| 13:15 » 14:15 | Panel 4: Leveraging interim relief, disclosure orders and other measures to recover assets Interim relief and disclosure orders can play a vital role in asset tracing and recovery, especially in cases involving intangible or digital assets. However, there are differences in how these orders can be sought and implemented in common law and civil law jurisdictions. In this session, we will explore how these orders can assist in asset search and recovery and discuss important distinctions between the different legal systems. We will also discuss potential other methods outside of interim relief and disclosure orders that may be helpful in asset search and recovery. Moderator: Natalia Kabacińska, WKB Lawyers, Warsaw, Poland Speakers:

| 14:45 » 15:45 | Panel 5: The impact of international sanctions on enforcement proceedings – what are the chances of a Pyrrhic victory? International sanctions have emerged as a tool for nations to assert influence, promote human rights, and discourage undesirable behaviors. However, the enforcement of international sanctions can have serious implications on enforcement proceedings of judgments. This panel will discuss how the imposition of sanctions may alter the dynamics of ongoing legal battles, stifle the enforcement of judgments, and potentially lead to unintended outcomes or 'pyrrhic victories'.
