Center on Law and Finance

Established in 2019, the Center on Law and Finance advances the understanding of how law interacts with—and shapes—financial systems and concretely connects that knowledge with the real world. Continuing the Law School’s commitment to the practical application of legal theory, the Center facilitates a meaningful dialogue between academics and practitioners. To achieve these goals, the Center hosts a yearly schedule of conferences, roundtables, speaker events, and seminars where leading minds of law and finance share their work and discuss forefront issues in the areas of financial transactions, financial markets, securities, private equity, venture capital, bankruptcy, and debt. These events are built around educational programs to expose practitioners, judges, and lawmakers to the insights produced by the University’s cutting-edge research; transactional programs to develop and foster increasing research and student education on the legal structure of financial deals; and international programs that highlight and explore the global nature of law and finance. Professor Anthony Casey leads the Center.
