About us
The Westminster Commercial Corporate and Financial Law Research Group brings together a vibrant community of researchers in the study of different manifestations of commercial, corporate and financial law, with a strong emphasis on critical analysis and interdisciplinarity. The focus is on scholarly activities and applied projects, thus acting as a bridge between the applied and theoretical, and providing a supportive context within which new research can flourish.
