He specialises in international business and economic law, comparative corporate law and international investment law in which fields he has authored numerous papers and articles.

He is a door tenant at Brick Court Chambers, London, and he has also acted as a legal adviser to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) on investment law and policy issues.

The book is eloquently written and is easy to follow and understand. It clearly explains complex topics and masterfully links them together in a coherent narrative. The brevity of the analysis of certain areas of law and regulation, however, does not undermine the validity of conclusions made throughout Multinational Enterprises and the Law, its contribution to the academic debate and its use as an excellent source for practitioners.
