Corporations, and other forms of business associations, have been the subject of intense study including their history, governance, and obligations to stakeholders and the public at large. However, surprisingly, the future of business and the corporate form has been somewhat neglected. Triggered in part by technological advances in recent years, this is now changing. The Conference on the Future of the Firm aimed to contribute to this emerging scholarly focus, bringing together research and stimulating debate in a cutting edge area of the law.

Organisers

Felix Steffek, University of Cambridge

Martin Petrin, University College London, Faculty of Laws

Carsten Gerner-Beuerle, University College London and ECGI

Marc Moore, University of Cambridge
