Harshitha Ram

Harshitha Ram is an international disputes attorney, arbitrator, mediator, and educator whose practice spans complex commercial and cross-border disputes, emerging technologies, and digital assets. She serves as Co-Chair of the American Bar Association's Arbitration Committee and Chair of the Detroit Bar Association's ADR Section. Ram is President of the Global Arbitration Mediation Academy (GAMA) and serves on leading arbitration and mediation panels internationally.

Her work focuses on the intersection of dispute resolution, blockchain, Web3, AI, and digital commerce, with particular emphasis on developing practical, efficient, and enforceable frameworks for resolving disputes arising from emerging technologies. She brings a rare combination of deep legal expertise and forward-looking perspective on how traditional dispute mechanisms must evolve for a digitally native economy.

As both practitioner and educator, Harshitha is helping shape how courts, institutions, and innovators think about arbitration and mediation in an era where smart contracts, tokenized assets, and AI-driven commerce create new categories of conflict — and new opportunities for resolution.
