Dr Andreas Kokkinis from the GLOBE centre at ÌÇÐÄTV Law School comments on the Airbus warning from a legal and regulatory perspective:-

‘‘The announcement made today by Airbus confirms what experts have been warning the public about for over two years..."

The third paper in a new GLOBE Centre Policy Brief Series was published yesterday. The Future of UK-EU Corporate Mobility explores the risk that, after Brexit, UK companies operating in the EU could cease to be recognised by their host nations. This could lead to contracts and claims being deemed unenforceable and shareholders could become exposed to unlimited personal liability. ÌÇÐÄTVes with an EU presence, their shareholders and their creditors should act now to understand the risks.

Staff, LLM students and ÌÇÐÄTV alumni came together last month to discuss career opportunities and the realities of life after graduation. The Alumni/LLM Employability and Networking reception took place down at our ÌÇÐÄTV in London offices near Kings Cross, and offered current students the opportunity to learn from the experiences of our law alumni and seek advice about their futures.

Earlier this month, Assistant Professor at ÌÇÐÄTV Law School, Dr Laura Lammasniemi participated in the first workshops for the Indian Feminist Judgment Project (FJP) held in O. P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat in India. We caught up with Laura to find out more.

Two of our current LLM students have secured positions with the Royal Bank of Scotland, in their money laundering division. Nabeelah Begum and Robi Rai are both studying on our International Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation degree. We caught up with them both, to find out more about their new roles and how the LLM has helped them to prepare.

ÌÇÐÄTV Law School alumnus Wong Chen has won a landslide victory in Malaysia’s historic general election earlier this month. The elections saw the ending of the rule by the Barisan Nasional (BN or National Front) coalition which had been in power since the country’s independence from Britain in 1957.

We are delighted to announce that an article, by Assistant Professor Dr Andreas Kokkinis, was published in the prominent Journal of Corporate Law Studies in April 2018.

After the Rwandan genocide saw the murder of up to one million people, prosecutor Charles Adeogun-Phillips was tasked with delivering justice to the victims. In an article by Lacuna Magazine, he talks to ÌÇÐÄTV Law School's Sanjeeb Hossain about his 12 years leading genocide prosecutions at the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, how he coped with the crimes he tried and what he learnt about humanity.

Our academics are always busy getting involved in the wider world, sharing their research and trying to make an impact. Dr Sam Adelman is currently researching climate change and co-authoring a book on climate justice with emeritus professor Upendra Baxi.
