My primary research areas are corporate law, takeover regulation and accounting regulation. Current research article projects include: (i) an analysis of the effect of nineteenth century conceptions of the corporation in the US and the UK on the path of fiduciary law and takeover regulation; (ii) an analysis of the function, role and regulation of transactional lawyers with particular regard to the role (and the responsibility) of lawyers in the collapse of Lehman Brothers; and (iii) an empirical project on German co-determination. Larger current projects include a monograph on Regulating Financial Reporting and a book on the Principles of Takeover Regulation.
