Law and Finance The Law Faculty, in conjunction with the Saïd Business School (‘SBS’), has for over a decade been engaged in an exciting and innovative joint programme that has created one of the world’s leading centres for interdisciplinary research and teaching at the intersection of law and finance. Both Faculties have world-class groups operating in the fields of corporate law and corporate finance, respectively. In the Law Faculty, relevant colleagues include John Armour (Professor of Law and Finance and Dean of the Faculty of Law), Anna Christie (Departmental Lecturer in Law and Finance), Paul Davies (Emeritus Professor of Corporate Law and Senior Research Fellow), Horst Eidenmüller (Professor of Commercial Law), Stefan Enchelmaier (Professor of European and Comparative Law), Luca Enriques (Professor of Corporate Law), Joshua Getzler (Professor of Law and Legal History), Chris Hare (Travers Smith Associate Professor of Corporate and Commercial Law), Geneviève Helleringer (IECL Lecturer in French Law and Business Law), Jennifer Payne (Linklaters Professor of Corporate Finance Law), Jeremias Adams-Prassl (Professor of Law), Kristin van Zwieten (Professor of Law and Finance), John Vella (Professor of Law) and Thom Wetzer (Associate Professor of Law and Finance). Between them, they supervise approximately 15 outstanding doctoral students. Regular Faculty members are accompanied by a range of Visiting Professors including Jeffrey N. Gordon (Richard Paul Richman Professor of Law, Columbia Law School), Richard Salter QC (3 Verulam Buildings) and Wolf-Georg Ringe (Professor of Law & Finance, and Director of the Institute of Law and Economics, University of Hamburg). In the Saïd Business School, the group of relevant colleagues includes Renée Adams (Professor of Finance; team behaviour, directors, bank governance, and gender), Gregory Besharov (Lecturer in Finance; entrepreneurship); Thomas Hellmann (DP World Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation; entrepreneurial finance, entrepreneurship, innovation and public policy); Tim Jenkinson (Professor of Finance and Director of the Oxford Private Equity Institute; corporate finance, private equity), Howard Jones (Professor of Finance; IPOs, investment advice), Seung Joo Lee (Associate Professor of Finance; Contract theory, asset pricing and behavioural finance) Alan Morrison (Professor of Law and Finance, an appointment held jointly with the Law Faculty; banking, corporate finance and corporate reputation and culture), Ken Okamura (Senior Lecturer in Finance; financial crises, anti-corruption laws), Ludovic Phalippou (Professor of Financial Economics; private equity), Joel Shapiro (Professor of Financial Economics; corporate finance and labour economics), and Mungo Wilson (Associate Professor of Finance; asset pricing, financial innovation, mutual funds). At the core of the Law and Finance group engagement in Oxford has been the MSc in Law and Finance. Established in 2010, the MLF provides outstanding students from a law background with a rigorous DL in Law and Finance – March 2025 4 engagement with the area of intersection between law and finance. It combines a highly analytic academic core with tailor-made practical applications derived from continuing collaboration with professional and regulatory organisations. MLF alumni, who now number over 500, pursue accelerated career trajectories as practitioners, regulators or academics, respectively working in, regulating or studying this important field. In the fast-changing financial environment, the value of specific substantive knowledge depreciates rapidly. Consequently the course focuses on equipping students with an analytic toolkit that facilitates analysis and understanding from first principles, as opposed simply to the application of existing precedents. Further details about the course structure can be seen on the course website. The MLF programme has facilitated further development of research capacity in the field of law and finance, through the appointment of two Associate Professors in Law and Finance and an associated Associate Professor in Finance, and by functioning as a foundation course for interdisciplinary doctoral research. The group sponsors a lively interdisciplinary Business Law Workshop, which attracts high-profile speakers from around the world, and frequently hosts interdisciplinary conferences. Joint supervision arrangements between colleagues in the Law Faculty and the Saïd Business School facilitate interdisciplinary DPhil research. Exchange arrangements between Oxford and Columbia Law School and the Max Planck Institute for Private and Comparative Law in Hamburg permit such DPhil students to have the opportunity to introduce a comparative element to their research programme by spending a semester at a partner institution under individual supervision of a leading scholar. These exchange agreements also foster comparative research at Faculty level, by facilitating faculty visits and exchanges in both directions. Beyond the Law Faculty and the Saïd Business School, Oxford is home to a wide range of scholars and research programmes related to law and finance, including those working in the Blavatnik School of Government, the Economics Department, the Oxford-Man Institute for Quantitative Finance and the Department of Politics and International Relations. Faculty of Law The Faculty of Law in the University of Oxford is the largest Law Faculty in the UK. It is a federation of thirty law schools in the colleges of the University.

Social Sciences Division Social Sciences is one of four academic Divisions in the University, each with considerable devolved budgetary and financial authority, and responsibility for providing a broad strategic focus across its constituent disciplines. Thirteen departments, one faculty, and three cross-divisional research units come under the aegis of the division which spans the full range of social science disciplines with links into the humanities and physical sciences (including Law, Management, Economics, Politics and International Relations, Sociology, Social Policy, Area Studies, Development Studies, Education, Anthropology, Archaeology, Geography, Public Policy). There are over 700 academic staff, 2,700 graduate students (postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), and 1900 undergraduates working and studying in the division. The division is established as a world-leading centre for research in the social sciences and regularly sits at the highest levels of international league tables of one form or another. It is the largest grouping of social science disciplines in the UK and it is also home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as PPE, the BCL, the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies, and the nationally regarded PGCE. We believe that excellence in teaching and research is synergistic and remain committed to sustaining and developing the high quality of our activities in both these areas. Our departments are committed to research which develops a greater understanding of all aspects of society, from the impact of political, legal and economic systems on social and economic welfare to human rights and security. That research is disseminated through innovative graduate programmes and enhances undergraduate courses.
