CCLS Seminars: New Voices in Commercial Law

New Voices in Commercial Law (NVCL) is a seminar series that takes place several times during the academic year in London. Now in its eighth year, the series aims to provide a forum for debate and an opportunity for attendees to hear early career academics with outstanding potential discuss their research in an intellectually stimulating environment.

The seminars are convened and usually chaired by Dr Andromachi Georgosouli. Draft papers are circulated electronically two weeks in advance to registered participants. 

CCLS attendance certificates available on request. For more information email the CCLS Events Team on ccls-events@qmul.ac.uk.
