BIO
I joined SLS in September 2013, having previously taught at the University of Leicester where I held a Jean Monnet Chair in European Law ad personam (2000-2013). I have also held a Jean Monnet Chair in European Law at the University of Nottingham (1998- 2000) and I was a Senior Lecturer and Lecturer at the London School of Economics (1989-1999) where I was also an Officer of the School, holding the position of Adviser to Women Students. I began my academic career at the University of Kent (1980 - 1989) and I retired from a full-time academic career in April 2017.
Although not planned, my last lecture on EU law was on the date the UK government triggered Article 50 TEU and I transferred to a Professor Emerita position on 31 January 2020 . I continue as a Fellow of UKTPO.
From 2004 - 2017 I was a practising barrister at Littleton Chambers. I am still a member of the Middle Temple and an ADR Mediator.I have worked as a legal consultant for the European Commission and advised the House of Lords Scrutiny Committee on EU Law, as well as the EU Single Market sub-committee. In 2017-2018 was the Special Adviser to the House of Lords EU Internal Market Sub-Committee Inquiry on Brexit Competition and State Aid.
I have been involved in the training of national judges, lawyers and civil servants in EU law, especially in EU Competition Law and recently conducted seminars in Dublin, Barcelona, Vienna, Bucharest and Osmenie.
I sit on the Editorial Board of the European Law Review. Previously I was a member of the Editorial Boards of the European Journal of Social Law, the International Journal of Discrimination and the La, Diritto e Politiche dell'Unione Europea and the Modern Law Review (1991 - 2017).
My research focuses upon EU market law, especially the free movement provisions and competition law. I am particularly interested in the regulation of State intervention in the market and I have written extensively in this area. I was a founder member and a co-editor of the TMC Asser/Springer series, Legal Issues of Services of General Interest.
