Manchester Centre for Law and Business
We're contributing to legal scholarship and discussions which influence everyday lives.
The Manchester Centre for Law and Business replaces the Private and Commercial Law Hub.
About the centre
The Centre for Law and Business was established in 1989 in the Faculty of Law of The University of Manchester by Professor David Milman (later Dean of the Faculty of Law, presently Professor of Law at Lancaster University and presently the Centre’s external founding member).
Earlier projects included extensive knowledge exchange work with the legal profession and an externally funded project reviewing national corporate law regimes across Europe. The Centre acquired a reputation for providing a forum for interacting with the legal community and academic scholarship regionally, nationally and internationally.
The Centre presently encompasses a wide range of business-related areas. Research within the Manchester Centre for Law and Business sits at the intersection of critical social and economic debates, tackling legal, regulatory and policy questions. Many LLM modules and LLM streams cover aspects of commercial, corporate, and financial law, and are delivered by members of the Centre.
Recent activities (initially under the aegis of the Private & Commercial Law hub) have included a number of high-profile conferences, among which, in 2016 on the Insurance Act 2015, sponsored by DAC Beachcroft; in 2017 on the ten years of the Companies Act 2006, sponsored by Trowers & Hamlins and by QMUL; in 2020 on the impact of LegalTech on the legal profession, sponsored by Exchange Chambers and by the Northern Business & Property Courts Forum.
The Centre was revived in 2020 by Dr Vincenzo Bavoso and Professor Geraint Howells (acting as co-directors). The Centre’s aim is to be a world renowned brand among academic institutions, practitioners and policy-makers. Current partners include the Sheffield Institute of Corporate and Commercial Law (SICCL) at the University of Sheffield, the Hong Kong Commercial and Maritime Law Centre (HKCMLC) at City University of Hong Kong, Labour Business and Regulation at NUI Galway, the Manchester Business and Property Courts Forum, Grant Thornton LLP Manchester.
In September 2021 the Centre took over the editorship of the prestigious outlet Law and Financial Markets Review (Taylor & Francis), with Dr Vincenzo Bavoso, Dr Michael Galanis and Professor Geraint Howells acting as editors in chief, and Professor Orkun Akseli, Dr Nicolette Butler, Dr Joseph Lee and Dr Jasem Tarawneh as associate editors.
