Business Law Research Group

Description

In this expansive field, colleagues and, in many cases, groups in the UK are engaged in alternative dispute resolution, banking law, commercial law, company law, financial regulation, insolvency law, law and finance, restructuring law, securities law, takeover regulation, and tax law. 

While primarily focused on English law, their work increasingly encompasses comparative and international perspectives, with a particular emphasis on the EU and the US, as well as Commonwealth legal systems and growing markets like China, India, and Brazil. Interdisciplinary research is a significant aspect, fostered through strong collaborations with economist colleagues at the Saïd Business School. They organise a vibrant Business Law Workshop series on Wednesday lunchtimes and maintain an active schedule of conferences.

The Business Law group at Oxford maintains strong research ties with the legal profession, engaging both practitioners and members of the judiciary in seminars and conferences. They receive research funding from the government and supplement it with grants and donations from various sources. Group members actively contribute to policy-related work for organisations such as the Commonwealth Secretariat, the European Commission, and the European Securities and Markets Authority.

Oxford's Business Law group has formed a strategic alliance with Columbia Law School, which includes a faculty exchange program and has led to numerous joint conferences and research projects. They also have a thriving doctoral program, with many graduates now serving as colleagues at Oxford and other universities.
