Supervision

My supervision is primarily focused on areas within civil law, including topics relating to commercial law and other matters within private law. I particularly welcome research projects that involve doctrinal legal analysis, the critical examination of legal principles, and engagement with contemporary developments in civil and commercial law.

In addition to these core areas, I have supervised dissertations across a broader range of legal subjects. Many of these projects arise from the subjects that I teach, and supervision is therefore often aligned with the teaching areas within my academic practice. Further information on these subjects can be found in the Teaching Areas section of this website.

Supervision may involve undergraduate dissertations, independent research essays, and extended coursework projects. Students are guided in developing coherent research questions, applying appropriate legal research methodologies, and presenting well-structured legal arguments supported by authoritative legal sources.

The majority of dissertations supervised fall within civil and commercial law, particularly in areas connected to private law relationships and commercial activity. Students frequently undertake research projects that involve the doctrinal analysis of legal principles governing contractual obligations, commercial arrangements, and corporate regulation.

Supervision in these areas typically involves guiding students in analysing legislation, judicial decisions, and scholarly commentary, while developing clear legal arguments and structured research.

Alongside these core fields, I have supervised dissertations across a wider range of legal subjects connected to my teaching portfolio. These projects often arise from subjects studied by students during their academic programme and allow them to explore specific legal questions in greater depth.

In this context, supervision has also extended to areas such as constitutional law, criminal law, and other public law subjects, where students undertake focused research on particular legal issues or contemporary developments within these fields.

Such dissertations frequently examine recent legal developments, interpretative questions arising from legislation and case law, or comparative perspectives within different legal systems.

Students interested in undertaking a dissertation or research project under my supervision may consult the Requesting Supervision page for further information on the process.
