Interests
My research focusses on private law, primarily contract and legal fictions. I am also interested in intellectual property.
I currently supervise Law of Tort (Tripos Paper 13) and Law of Contract (Tripos Paper 20). In the recent past, I supervised Intellectual Property (Tripos Paper 45) and Legal History (Tripos Paper 33).
