D2 Legal Technology (D2LT) has appointed Sarah Green, a private law professor, as head of its digital assets and electronic trade documentation practice.
Green joins from the Law Commission of England and Wales where she served as law commissioner for common and commercial law since 2020.
She is currently a professor of private law at the University of Bristol and was previously a professor of the law of obligations at the University of Oxford.
In 2023, Green won the International Chamber of Commerce’s award for “the individual who has made the greatest contribution to the digitalisation of trade” and the ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’ at the British Legal Technology Awards.
She is also a published author on issues including virtual currencies, blockchain, smart contracts, and sale of goods law as applicable to digitised assets.
Commenting on her new role, Green says: “I am incredibly proud of the recommendations and reforms the Law Commission has made in commercial and common law, particularly in relation to electronic trade documents legislation, digital assets, and arbitration.
“I am extremely excited to continue this work with D2 Legal, where I see a genuine opportunity to combine my expertise in legal reform and digitalisation with that of D2LT at the intersection of legal tech and fintech, in order to expedite significant change in the creation of legal agreement and opinion data frameworks, taxonomies and processes to harness the opportunities digital assets, electronic trade documents, and AI bring.”
Akber Datoo, CEO and founder of D2LT, adds: “[Green] brings a calibre of experience, knowledge, and a precedent for spearheading positive change in digital transformation that is simply unparalleled and evidenced by the stellar work in keeping English law at the forefront as a law commissioner.”
