LSE Law School has been shaping UK and European scholarship and policy making in the areas of corporate and financial law for more than three decades. Our research has significantly contributed to national, international and EU policy making and law reform, informing the work of the judiciary and of legal practice. Eminent commercial lawyers who have taught at the LSE include Lord Wright, Lord Chorley, Professor Lord Wedderburn, Professor Paul Davies QC, Professor Dame Sarah Worthington.
Current Law School members continue this distinguished tradition, providing academic and policy leadership in relation to the most timely and challenging legal questions raised by the financial system and by corporate law and governance. As a group our members work across the fields of corporate law and governance, insolvency, systemic stability, market efficiency and consumer protection. While every member has a distinct research focus, one of our core strengths is a transversal, multi-jurisdictional vision. Our members research, teach and advise across these different areas covering and from the perspective of multiple jurisdictions, including the UK, EU and US.
