Sarah Green
Professor Sarah Green was Law Commissioner for Common and Commercial Law at the Law Commission of England and Wales from 2020 to 2024. During that time, her law reform work included the Electronic Trade Documents Act 2023, Advice to Government on Smart Contracts, updating the Arbitration Act 1996, scoping reforms to the law on Intermediated Securities, and drafting guidance and a bill to ensure that English law is well-suited to accommodate Digital Assets. In 2023, she won both 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. In 2022, she was placed on the Women in Fintech Power List and on Bloomberg’s “Who to Watch” Crypto List.
Sarah is now Head of Digital Assets and Trade Finance at D2 Legal Technology, Professor of Private Law at the University of Bristol and a member of T3i Partner Network. Sarah also sits on the UK Jurisdiction Taskforce, LawTechUK, The Digital Commonwealth, LegalUK, and the Trade Digitalisation Taskforce, as well as being an advisor to the APPG on Blockchain Technologies.
She was previously Professor of the Law of Obligations at the University of Oxford and a software consultant at Accenture. She has written books and articles on subjects such as blockchain, smart contracts, digital assets and intermediated securities, and her work has been cited extensively in Parliament, across several jurisdictions in appellate courts, and in US Congress.
Statement
I am delighted to be nominated to stand as a Trustee. The SCL is such an invaluable part of the contemporary legal and technological landscape and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help it flourish even further over the next few years; years that are bound to be as exciting as they are challenging.
Given my recent work in law reform, I would be honoured to serve as a Trustee on the board of SCL: a role in which I can continue to contribute to the ongoing conversations between law and technology.
I very much welcome the opportunity to help the SCL achieve its valuable charitable objectives and to work alongside some of the most talented and dedicated individuals in the sector.
