About the Center

The Yale Law School Center for the Study of Corporate Law was established in 1999 following conversations between Robert Todd Lang '47 and then Dean Anthony T. Kronman '75. The wide-ranging objective of the Center is to enhance the quality of students' educational experience and of faculty research in the business law area, by increasing exposure to and engagement with contemporary business law issues.

The center's focus of study includes corporate law and the law of other nongovernmental organizations; the regulation of financial markets and intermediaries; the legal framework of finance, including the law of bankruptcy, corporate reorganization, and secured transactions; and antitrust law and the law of regulated industries. Center programs consist of lectures, roundtables, a workshop in law and finance, a colloquium series, an alumni breakfast program, panels and symposia, in which academics, government officials, and members of the bar and business community participate.  

The Center's Director is Roberta Romano, Oscar M. Ruebhausen Professor of Law; John Morley is the John R. Raben/Sullivan & Cromwell Executive Director; Kris Kavanaugh is the Center Coordinator; Ian Masias is the Oscar M. Ruebhausen Research Support Specialist. Contact Us.
