Luis Bergolla is one of the Visiting Fellows at Católica Global School of Law since January 2023.  

Luis’ is also currently a Lecturer in Law and the Teaching Fellow for the International Economic Law, Business and Policy LL.M. Program at Stanford Law School.  He also teaches contracts and torts in the B.A. in Law and M.L.S. programs at the University of Arizona.

His dissertation project builds on his award-winning JSM thesis—A Taxonomy of ICSID Cases Involving Party-Appointed Quantum Experts—and relies on mixed methods to assess the overall conditions under which the taking of expert evidence constitutes an efficient practice— when does it not work, when does it work, and under what conditions? 

In recent years, Luis has also researched and published in the emerging field of Blockchain-based Dispute Resolution (BDR).  His co-authored case study on blockchain arbitration (Bergolla et al., 2022) is the first socio-legal study that uses survey data to describe a well-known BDR provider, the hurdles that prevent its adoption by a broader user base, and its users’ attitudes toward claiming.

Luis is now working with a team of distinguished scholars who are exploring the emergence, transformation, and settlement of disputes in the Metaverse.

In his private practice, Luis represents major corporate clients, international investors, and sovereigns in litigation and arbitration disputes, and appears as expert on foreign law before the courts and international arbitral tribunals.
