\"CCLFR\"The CENTRE FOR COMMERCIAL LAW AND FINANCIAL REGULATION (CCLFR) was founded by the School of Law and ICMA Centre in 2011 as a forum for stimulating and conducting research and for disseminating knowledge on international commercial law and financial regulation.<\/h2>\n

Our academic staff contribute regularly to policy development and law reform, by acting as consultants to governments, commissions and practitioners, and by engaging in debate through conferences and public fora.<\/span><\/p>\n

From its creation a core part of CCLFR’s mission has been to combine excellence in research with excellence in teaching. It is a leading centre for postgraduate studies in commercial law, providing a stimulating environment in which students benefit from learning from leading academics who regularly invite experienced practitioners to participate in their teaching provision. A focus on international, comparative and multi-disciplinary perspectives is a key characteristic of teaching within CCLFR, and its students have access to modules run not only by the School of Law<\/a>, but also by ICMA<\/a>, Henley Business School<\/a>, and the Department of Economics<\/a>.<\/p>\n
