Research
My research area is company law and employment law. I have written a number of peer-reviewed journals on the challenges of regulating director's remuneration and the impact of excessive director's remuneration on the company and its workers. I was awarded early career research grants twice by the University of Hertfordshire to work on zero hours contract and the shared parental leave research. My research interest covers company law, corporate governance, zero hours contract and shared parental leave.
