Professor Dr Dominik Skauradszun becomes Honorary Professor

Nottingham Law School has appointed Professor Dr Dominik Skauradszun as an Honorary Professor in recognition of his expertise and esteem.

    Professor Dr Dominik Skauradszun

    Professor Skauradszun has been a Professor of Civil Law, Civil Procedure and Corporate Law since 2014. He received his doctorate from the University of Tübingen with a thesis on civil procedure law, and his habilitation from the University of Bielefeld with a thesis on the doctrine of resolutions.

    He has published over 160 works, including 85 publications on insolvency and restructuring law. He was appointed Visiting Professor of insolvency law at Nottingham Law School in 2020, and has since been appointed to the role of Honorary Professor, following approval by Nottingham Trent University’s recruiting committee.

    Upon receiving the news of the appointment, Professor Skauradszun said:

    The appointment as Honorary Professor marks a very fruitful time. I have been working with NTU for 14 years. During that time, I have had the privilege of working with esteemed colleagues at Nottingham Law School and with many bright students, many of whom I know by name even today. NTU has always been an attractive international university that has welcomed me with open arms, and I am very grateful for the continuous opportunity to research and teach there.

    In November 2022, Professor Skauradszun was appointed a judge at the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court, the highest civil court in the state of Hesse, and became a judge in the 4th Senate, which deals with restructuring and insolvency matters. These very topics are explored in Professor Skauradszun’s seminars, and thereby allow students to benefit from both the latest trends in academia and the insights of a court of appeal.

    Professor Skauradszun has been delivering guest seminars at Nottingham Law School on restructuring and insolvency law for many years, bringing his latest research findings and ideas right into the classroom. During the past year, this interplay between research and teaching was further enhanced by an international research project, co-chaired between Professor Skauradszun and Professor Paula Moffatt of Nottingham Law School.

    Professor Skauradszun is looking forward to his appointment with Nottingham Law School, and said:

    What I am really excited about is the combination of two things that Nottingham Trent University is very strong in: insolvency law and emerging technologies. Nottingham Law School has launched an innovative Masters in Technology Law. Dr Hakan Sahin and Dr Akrum El Menshawy recently allowed me to enrich the technical focus on blockchains and crypto-assets with insolvency law issues. It seems to me that Nottingham can defend its pole position here. We can continue to explore robust insolvency protection for clients and customers of crypto-asset service providers. I look forward to contributing seminars and publications to the Nottingham Insolvency and Business Law e-Journal in this regard.

    Jenny Chapman, Executive Dean of the Law School said:

    Our relationship with Professor Dr. Skauradszun is much valued and I am delighted that his expertise and esteem has been recognised in his appointment as Honorary Professor. It is such well-deserved recognition, and we look forward to collaborating with Professor Dr. Skauradszun in his new role, for the benefit of our academic team, our students, and our Law School community.

    Professor Skauradszun will deliver a special lecture at Nottingham Law School soon to mark his appointment.
