Profile

Dr Georgosouli is a Reader in Financial Law and Regulation at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS), Queen Mary University of London. Her research is problem-solving and focuses, in roughly equal measure, on financial law and the theory of regulation. Her recent publications address questions of financial crisis prevention and management, transnational governance, and digitalization. Earlier publications examine a selection of topics on meta-regulation in the field of financial services. Dr Georgosouli is the author of a monograph on Adaptable Financial Regulation: Theory, Policy and Practice (OUP; forthcoming 2025), the editor of the EE Research Handbook on Consumer Protection in Financial Law and Regulation (jointly with I Benohr) (EE; forthcoming 2025), the editor of a book on Systemic Risk and the Future of Insurance Regulation (Routledge/INFORMA, 2015; jointly with M Goldby) and -until June 2021- was the General Editor of the Transnational Commercial Law Review - the online fully open-access peer-reviewed journal of the QMUL-UNIDROIT Institute of Transnational Commercial Law (jointly with M Goldby).  In addition, she has published extensively in top law journals including the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, the Cambridge Law Journal, the Legal Studies; the Brooklyn Journal of Commercial, Financial and Corporate Law, the Connecticut Insurance Law Journal, the Journal of Banking Regulation, and the Journal of Law and Society. She regularly contributes to books, and, over the years, she has been involved in the preparation of independent reports and briefings in the field of her expertise. Examples include her recent contribution to an independent study  for the European Parliament on the topic of Euro Area Accession focusing on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Bulgaria and Croatia in collaboration with CEPS (2022); her report to the European Affairs Committee of the UK Parliament on the UK-EU relationship in financial services post-Brexit (April 2022; jointly with Rosa Lastra); and her Briefing for the European Parliament on Brexit, financial stability, and the supervision of clearing systems (February 2018). In 2016, Dr Georgosouli was the holder of a prestigious scholarship under the European Central Bank (ECB) Legal Research Programme. In spring 2015, she was a visiting scholar at the George Washington University Law School and at the International Monetary Fund. In December 2021, Dr Georgosouli joined the prestigious Advisory Pool of Experts (APEX) of the Bar Standards Board as a regulatory policy and theory expert.

Dr Georgosouli is currently the CCLS Director of the Joint Equality Diversity and Inclusion Committee of the School of Law. Before that appointment, she successfully led the Law School’s joint submission for the Athena Swan Silver Award representing CCLS. Until June 2021, she acted as the Academic Director of the Queen Mary-UNIDROIT Institute of Transnational Commercial Law (jointly with M Goldby). Dr Georgosouli holds a PhD in financial regulation and an LLM in Banking and Financial Law - both from QMUL. Her postgraduate studies were funded by a three-year scholarship from the Greek State Scholarships' Foundation (SSF), which she had been awarded after having taken first place in the SSF national written competition in 2001. Dr Georgosouli is a barrister (on leave), and she obtained her LLB from Democritus University of Thrace (Greece). Before joining QMUL in January 2012, she was a lecturer at the School of Law of the University of Leicester and the Deputy Director of the School's Centre for European Law and Integration (CELI).
