The New Voices in Commercial Law (NVCL) is a seminar series, held both in London and in Paris, which aims to provide a forum for debate and an opportunity for attendees to hear early career academics with outstanding potential talk about their research in an intellectually stimulating environment.

Speakers

Dr Han Yongqiang, 'Insurer's Duty of Good Faith and Policyholders' Reasonable Expectations'

Dr Han joined the National University of Singapore Law School in August 2014 as a Postdoctoral Fellow. His current research focus on how the English insurance law's unreceptiveness to the doctrine of reasonable expectations might be at odds with actuarial principles and practices in the English insurance industry and the normative implications of such oddity.

Andromachi is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary University of London, and the research convenor of the NVCL series.

Her book (co-edited with Dr Miriam Goldby), Systemic Risk and the Future of Insurance Regulation (Routledge/INFORMA, Lloyd’s Insurance Law Library series) is due to be published in summer 2015. Dr Georgosouli has just returned from the International Monetary Fund and the George Washington University Law School where she was a visiting scholar.
