Corporate and Financial Law Research Group Research Seminar Series 2026 (CFL - RG Seminar Series 2026)

The Corporate and Financial Law Research Group Research Seminar Series provides a focused forum for academic debate, where researchers can present work in progress or published works, receive constructive feedback, and connect with an international community of scholars.

The series is organised by the Research Group’s PGR Convenors (PhD researchers) and is open to early-career scholars working in any area of commercial, corporate, or financial law. Each session typically consists of a 30-minute presentation followed by a 15-30-minute discussion and Q&A. Seminars are held in a hybrid format, both in person at the School of Law and online via Zoom or MS Teams.

Details of each session, including registration (via Eventbrite), are shared 10-14 days in advance and advertised on the Corporate and Financial Law Research Group LinkedIn page, where you can find the most up-to-date information on dates, times, and speakers.
